Lotus driver Kimi Raikkonen is hoping to restart his consistent performances after two non-points scoring races at Spa and Monza.

The Lotus driver said: “I have some unfinished business after my three Grands Prix there Singapore GP) so far, as I enjoy the circuit but have not yet had a podium. That doesn’t mean I’m not quick there as I’ve been told I still hold the lap record from 2008.”

“After these two weekends with zero points it’s nice to get back to a circuit we expect to be more suited to our car. We seem to go better at high downforce circuits that’s for sure. Obviously, the podium is a target again. We’ve had two races without scoring any points so we need to score as many as we can in the remaining races this season,” the 2007 world champion added.

His teammate Romain Grosjean followed suit by saying the track suits the E21. “It’s a very high downforce track and that seems to suit us best as we saw in Budapest. It’s a fun layout to drive, with the last section being my favourite part of the track. It’s certainly a physical race, with lots of kerbs, some bumps on the track and frequent use of the brakes. It’s certainly not a circuit with a long straight where you can take a rest,” said Grosjean.
