Grosjean: “No fear despite the uncertainty of the future”

The financial situation of Lotus made even more critical by the latest events, or rather by the complaint made by the former reserve Charles Pic for which the entire equipment of the team present in Belgium was seized by the bailiff did not alter the mood of the group too much.

He declared this to Canal Plus Romain Grosjean, fresh off a podium that he had missed since Austin 2013.

“There is no air of panic in the team – he reported – It's true that the situation we find ourselves in is complex and the possibility of being sold is high, to be clear, in Spa we had to take a five-place penalty because we were missing some parts spare, but none of us are losing heart. There are extraordinary people in the team who are doing their best despite the difficulties. The hope is that Renault will soon take over. At that point we could really be competitive again."

In fact, the transalpine company would have said it was willing to send 7,5 million euros to Enstone immediately and as many as 50 for the next ten years, becoming a 60% majority shareholder.

Should this liaison not work out, however, the PDVSA dollars brought by Maldonado linked to the British brand until 2017 would be ready.
