Romain Grosjean: 7.5/10
Given a much more predictable and competitive car, Grosjean has enjoyed a more productive start to the season, often bringing the Lotus home in the points. On certain tracks the car is good enough for solid points and Grosjean has delivered with three seventh places, but has yet to outperform his machinery. Team-mate Pastor Maldonado looked capable of doing so in Spain before retiring, but Grosjean has had the upper hand in qualifying. To be fair to him, the Frenchman would also be able to boast a bigger points tally but for back-to-back retirements in Austria and Great Britain through no fault of his own.
