Grosjean's racecraft.

[Ranger]

I have my doubts. He is starting to look like a dead weight for Lotus.

Discuss.

As a symphatizer of Grosjean, I agree. He seems to be quite a sensitive driver in terms of in which cars/conditions he can actually go really fast. And his racecraft is not consistent either. I think in Malaysia and Bahrain he was great in that respect, but it was a complete let-down in Monaco.

Especially if Kimi leaves to Red Bull, Lotus will have some serious thinking to do about its 2014 driver line-up. Could be the most interesting topic of the silly season!

Then again F1 teaches all too often that it is easy to bash a driver only for him to bounce back impressively in the very next race. But Grosjean is certainly on the limit now in terms of whether Lotus can trust him to re-hire again. Raise in game is paramount.

The only time "Grosjean" and "racecraft" should be mentioned in the same sentence is when they are joined by the words "completely lacking".

Maybe Grosjean is under pressure for exactly that reason? If Kimi is off next year then maybe Grosjean is trying to prove he is capable of being the team's number 1 driver, and cracking under the pressure.

Lotus would indeed have a tough driver choice if Kimi leaves but they seem like a well run team that is capable of turning out consistently good cars. That'll be an attractive proposition for most of the grid so I don't think they'll struggle to fill the seats with decent drivers.

He has worked hard this season to race cleanly, but this whole Weekend has shown he just has a major flaw or block with his racing.

I mean his smash into Ricciardo was amazingly bad coupled with all the other incidents.

He is losing his grip on F1 for 2014

Isn't Grosjean supposed to be on a final warning or something after Spa last year?

Grosjean in a nutshell:

I wouldn't mind to see Valsecchi on his car...just for 1 race :

Sad to see as he is in a race winning car.
Can you imagine what happens if both Kimi and Grosjean left??? Who would replace them!?
