’Nutcase’ Grosjean not targeting 2013 title
"The world title is not my goal"
After Jenson Button stunned his rivals with the pace of the new McLaren on Tuesday, Lotus’ Romain Grosjean went quicker still as a second test day came to a close at Jerez.
But Frenchman Grosjean - banned at Monza last year and written off as a "first lap nutcase" by Mark Webber - insists he is not getting carried away with the tantalising potential of the new black E21.
"The world title is not my goal," the 26-year-old is quoted by Auto Motor und Sport.
"In 2013, I particularly want to be consistent. I know that the speed is there, in me. But in some situations I have to be more patient," added Grosjean.
