Romain Grosjean admits he might still be looking to move away from Lotus after 2015.<\/p>\n
Amid Lotus’ horror 2014 season, the Frenchman openly eyed a move for next year, but he has now signed up for at least one more season.<\/p>\n
As for the future, he told L’Equipe: “2016 is still far away.<\/p>\n
“I did not hide my desire to join a top team, but I wanted one more season with Lotus as we all want to go back to the joy of being on the podium.”<\/p>\n
Earlier, it appeared Grosjean may have been among the contenders to be Fernando Alonso’s new Honda-powered teammate at McLaren for 2015.<\/p>\n
Interestingly, he is not one of those who is highly critical of the British team for considering dropping the 2009 world champion Jenson Button.<\/p>\n
“If I am not mistaken, Jenson has been in F1 for 15 seasons,” he said.<\/p>\n
“I’m sorry if he goes, but we need fresh blood.”<\/p>\n
Finally, in an amusing social media exchange, Grosjean was asked by a fan if he was not tempted to give Lotus’ dismal 2014 car a fitting send-off after the final race of the season — with a sledgehammer!<\/p>\n
“No, no,” he joked.\u00a0 “It had to be used in the Abu Dhabi test, so it could not be done!”<\/p>\n
