Lotus is bringing updates to the next two races "which could open some eyes", according to deputy team principal Federico Gastaldi.
Having switched to the Mercedes power unit for 2015, Lotus has been more competitive this season but only scored its first points of the year in China. Romain Grosjean has praised the improvement in terms of chassis as well as engine, and the team has been working hard on developments ahead of the start of the European season next weekend.
"There’s potential for some things which could open some eyes in Barcelona and then at the next race in Monaco too," Gastaldi said. "It’s fair to say it’s busy times at Enstone."
And Gastaldi believes an improved car will help Grosjean display more of his potential after back-to-back top ten results.
"Romain delivered another textbook driving display in Bahrain and he continues to impress us and other seasoned F1 observers with his on track prowess. He is very focused this year and this means he’s making the most of every moment in the car. We know as soon as we can unlock a little more pace from the E23, there will be even stronger results to come."
