Grosjean admits Lotus have work to do

Romain Grosjean admits Lotus have a lot of work to do ahead of tomorrow’s qualifying in Singapore.

On the whole, Lotus struggled with both cars and look set for an uncompetitive weekend.

Grosjean was only fourteenth fastest in first practice and sixteenth in the second session.

The Frenchman admits it is difficult to get a clean lap in and expects to improve the performance of the E23 tomorrow.

“We have some work to do on set-up and it’s always difficult to get a clean lap here with the traffic. I didn’t get the cleanest of laps when we went on the softer tyres so we know that we can easily do better than sixteenth.

Despite struggling on Friday, Grosjean is confident Lotus can improve the performance of the E23 and knows what area’s needs improving ahead of a crucial qualifying session in Singapore.

“We’ve got some work to do to refine the set-up ahead of tomorrow, but we’ve got a fairly good idea where to look. I’m sure we’ll be in a better position come qualifying.”
