Team Lotus expects an even better second half of the season according to tech boss Mike Gascoyne.

“A disappointing end to a strong race. Jarno stopped with a water leak and it looks like the same problem also ended Heikki’s race later on, but we need to get the cars back and take a closer look before we can be sure what the problems were. Until they stopped both Jarno and Heikki were having strong races, particularly Heikki in the middle stint when he was keeping a lot of cars behind him. So, overall it is disappointing to end like this, but we have definitely taken a step forward here so now we can go into the well deserved mid-season break which the whole team, here at the track and back at the factory, definitely deserve, and come back refreshed and ready for an even better second half of the season when we return in Spa.”
