Grosjean aims to unlock single-lap pace

Romain Grosjean says the focus for his Lotus team in final practice in Valencia is to unlock much-needed qualifying pace from its car - after his long-run form on Friday left rivals in no doubt about how strong his team will be in the race. Lotus had headed into the Valencia event as favourite to deliver an eighth different winner this weekend ? with the team well aware that it needs to get Grosjean or team-mate Kimi Raikkonen near the front of the grid if it is to deliver just that. And after an impressive performance in practice on Friday showing just how good the E20 will be around Valencia over the race distance, Grosjean says the key now will be working out how to extract more speed on Saturday without it compromising its chances for Sunday.
