Romain Grosjean Worked Hard To Fix Mistakes

Lotus' Romain Grosjean says he has worked hard to prepare himself for his second full F1 campaign this year. The 26 year old, who recently won the Race Of Champions in Thailand, endured a tough season in 2012. The Frenchman was involved in a string of incidents in 2012 and was not allowed to take part in the Italian Grand Prix. after causing a serious crash at the Belgium Grand Prix.

Although being criticised for his driving, Grosjean was able to show flashes of brilliance, achieving three podium finishes. With Lotus aiming to do better this year, he remains confident and ambitious, but insists that winning at all costs is not his approach.

In an interview with France's Stade 2, Grosjean said: "I don't think winning at all costs is the goal, because my dream is to become World Champion one day. Of course, it is true that you have to win races to become the champion, but I must be careful not to mistake this goal. I am not crazy, I am aware of the risks and I have worked hard to fix my mistakes. In the last five races of the season I no longer had any problems and there is no reason to say that I will have them anymore."

Lotus is expected to unveil its 2013 challenger at the end of January and Grosjean revealed that he and Kimi Räikkönen will equally share  the 12 days of winter testing in Jerez and Barcelona next month.

"The next few weeks for me will feature intense training, with the presentation of the new car at the end of the month. Then I will have six days of testing in February and then finally the beginning of the season in March," Grosjean added.
