Racing at Suzuka will be very special - Grosjean
The Renault F1 Team prepares for this weekend's Japanese Grand Prix at the classic Suzuka circuit. After a horrible Singapore weekend for Romain Grosjean, the rookie driver gears-up for the challenging circuit of Suzuka.
"Yes, it was probably the most difficult weekend I can remember in my career. I had to learn the circuit, which was not easy, especially as I had some issues in practice which limited my running. As a result I never really felt confident on this circuit. Then in qualifying I had some braking issues, which we thought we had solved for the race, but in the end the team asked me to retire the car as the brake problems returned. So it was not a weekend to remember for me and I now have to look forward to Japan."
Suzuka will be another new experience for you. Is it a circuit that inspires you?"It's a circuit that I've never been to, but I have always dreamed of racing there as it's one of the special circuits of the world. I have seen the track on television many times so I know the layout and cannot wait to drive the quick corners like 130R."
How are you approaching the end of the season?"All the tracks will be new for me so I know that I have a big challenge ahead. I hope that my luck will change in the races as I have yet to have a normal race without any problems. If I can have some trouble-free races then hopefully I can help the team score some important points, which is what we need for the fight in the constructors' championship."
