Romain Grosjean – 10/10

Romain Grosjean continued to impress everyone after taking his third consecutive podium of the season. After getting eliminated in Q1 for not coming out on option tyres, the Frenchman took another gamble in the race – completing the Grand Prix on a single stop strategy. However, Lotus’ ability to be easy on tyres helped Grosjean to fill the final spot on the podium.Grosjean started the race on soft tyres, eager to get out of the slower cars on faster of the two tyres. The plan was successful and he swiftly moved up the field to fourth place before pitting on lap 13. The Frenchman after getting rid of the soft fragile tyres started a long stint on medium tyres that would take him to the end of the race. He gained multiple places when other drivers completed their second stop and when his teammate Kimi Raikkonen on the same strategy was struggling with the tyres, he overtook the 2007 world champion to take his third consecutive podium finish of the season.
