Romain Grosjean has shrugged off the crash which curtailed his Practice Two running in Monaco and expressed confidence that Lotus are in good shape to be in the front-running mix this weekend.
Grosjean added that the fact his team-mate Raikkonen had shown a decent laptime improvement on the supersoft tyre - something his crash meant he personally has yet to sample - was further reason for encouragement for Lotus. "On Kimi's car he had a good gain on the tyre which shows we have a good gain with them. I was surprised that Fernando was not quicker with the supersoft so I think we should have been there with Rosberg," he suggested.
