Lotus F1 Team is pleased to announce that Romain
Grosjean will partner Kimi Räikkönen in an
unchanged driver line-up for the 2013 season.
This year, Romain made his return to Formula
1 with Lotus F1 Team. He finished on the podium
in Bahrain (P3), Canada (P2) and Hungary (P3),
finishing the Drivers’ Championship in eighth
position with 96 points.
Romain Grosjean : “It’s fantastic for me
to be continuing with Lotus F1 Team for 2013.
It’s superb to have the support of everyone at
Enstone. I’m really looking forward to rewarding
their faith when we take to the track in
Australia. I learnt a lot in my first full
season in Formula 1 and my aim is to put these
lessons into practice with stronger and more
consistent performance on track next year. There
are a lot of exciting developments occurring
behind the scenes at Enstone and I am very
excited with the prospect of the E21. I’ve
already had my seat fitting and spoken with all
the personnel involved with the build of the new
car ; I just can’t wait to get behind the wheel.”
Eric Boullier, Team Principal : “Romain
is a great talent and we are pleased that he is
continuing with us for a second season. With the
continuity of two exceptional drivers like
Romain and Kimi we are well placed to build on
our strong 2012 with even better results in the
year ahead. Both drivers worked very well
together in their first year as team-mates, and
I think there is the potential of even better
things from the season ahead. We were regular
visitors to podiums in 2012 and we certainly
intend to continue with this trend in 2013.”
