Deputy Team Principal Federico Gastaldi looks to the Austrian Grand Prix as offering an opportunity for Lotus F1 Team to get some real momentum behind its championship campaign.
The plan of Lotus F1 Team for 2015 Austrian Grand Prix? To get out there and score as many points as thay can. Federico Gastaldi is looking for next weekend.
– Looking at the circuit and talking to our drivers and engineers it’s a place that could suit us so we’re feeling quite positive heading there, especially after the E23 showed pretty well in Canada. – said Deputy Team Principal.
– The Canadian Grand Prix was a reasonable result for us. The car looked pretty strong all weekend and both drivers were happy and able to push. In the race we couldn’t show the pace we’d had earlier in the weekend, but we were able to fight in the top ten which is what we all want. It was great to see both drivers score, but that’s something we really want at every race.
– Everyone is pushing hard. When you come to the factory at Enstone you realise how much potential there is and how much everyone is putting into our campaign. If you look at the teams ahead of us you have three very well resourced squads with Mercedes, Ferrari and Red Bull and then Williams who are in their second year of their Mercedes partnership. We’re pushing hard and it’s Red Bull who are immediately ahead of us. They’ve had a stronger start to their season in terms of points scoring than us, but I feel that we’ve got our early season glitches and bugs out of the way; we should come on strong from here on.
