Romain Grosjean intends to bow out on a high at Lotus by fighting to the very last second in this weekend’s final Grand Prix of the year in Abu Dhabi.
It will be his last appearance for the Enstone-based team before he moves to Haas F1 in 2016.
“I’ll be fighting all the way,” Grosjean said. “There’s no point holding back in the race or over the weekend. It’s the last time the E23s will be used in race action so I’ll be looking to give my car a good send-off.”
Grosjean finished outside the points in Abu Dhabi last year, so he intends to put that right.
He added: “It is a very special Grand Prix given that it starts in the day and finishes under lights. It is incredible for the fans as they can see through our visors and watch how hard we are concentrating.”
