Romain Grosjean says he would be 'more than happy' to step up at Lotus

Romain Grosjean reckons he's more than up to the task of leading the line at Lotus should Kimi Raikkonen decide to move elsewhere.
For Grosjean, of course, Sunday's Belgian Grand Prix dredges up memories of the start of last year's race, in which he caused a spectacular multi-car collision. He picked up a one-race ban for the incident but, having made a clean getaway in every race so far this season, he insisted those days are behind him. "I've think I've progressed a lot and worked on that. And the 2013 starts proved that I've done my duties and I'm better with starts," he added. "I'll keep pushing and giving my best in every circumstance. When all eyes are on you, it's easier for the others to play with that but I'm here to give my best and try and win races."
