Not really. Ok he's had a couple half decent races but he's still normally only a baw hair away from wiping out half the grid.

Re: Romain Grosjean
I thought he did well today. From memory he seems to have matured a lot this year

Re: Romain Grosjean
Good work from the "Swiss Frenchman" today, he is gradually rounding into a potential race winner. Sir Jackie seems to have been a positive influence on the boy.

Re: Romain Grosjean
I know it was mentioned in the coverage on Sunday, but I'd just like to point out again that Grosjean has scored more points than any driver except for Vettel in the last five races, with his results being 3, 3, 3, 4, 2. That's pretty impressive stuff for a guy who people wanted booted from F1 last season.

Maybe Maldonado will do the same next year...??

Re: Romain Grosjean
Yeah he's definitely pulled his socks up and driving like an ace, no doubt about it. Exceeded everyone's expectations by repaying Lotus' faith.

Re: Romain Grosjean
Apparently one of the Lotus engineers said the turning point for Romain was when he became a dad. Since then his whole attitude changed

Re: Romain Grosjean
I feel sad for Grosjean. Lotus are likely to not be that competitive next year. They needed third. Grosjean needs a better team.
I'm a Lewis Hamilton h8r and it burns my @ss that he's now a two time WDC.

If he keeps driving the way he is now (hard and fair) he will get one.
