Lotus believe that their Mercedes engine can catapult them up the gird at next week’s Belgium Grand Prix.
The Mercedes power-unit is the stand-out package available, and could make a big difference on a power-hungry track like Spa-Francochamps.
CEO Nick Chester said: “It’s a strong power track and we have a strong power unit. We have fairly low drag on the E23 so I believe we should be in a reasonable position.”
Romain Grosjean echoed those views, and Lotus could be in good stead for the following race in Italy too.
The French driver said: “You need good grunt from the engine and a well set-up and forgiving car. We can definitely deliver on both those counts so it’s going to be interesting to see how we fare against our rivals.
“You also need an element of luck sometimes as the weather in the Ardennes can present a challenge."
