Eric Boullier says Lotus can finish second in the Constructors' Championship

Eric Boullier says Lotus can finish second in the Constructors' Championship if they maintain their current run of form.

Another impressive drive from Romain Grosjean saw him finish third in Japan as he looks to put the incidents that plagued last season behind him and Boullier has once again hinted that the Frenchman will be retained in 2014. "There are no announcements yet but there is plenty going on behind the scenes," he confirmed. "We know that Kimi is headed elsewhere for next season, but we also know that Romain would bring good continuity as well as the strong performance potential we've seen recently. "There are a number of other good drivers on the market at the moment, so we're in a strong position of being able to assess the possibilities. A race seat with Lotus F1 Team is pretty hot property at the moment, so we're confident we'll have a strong line-up in 2014."
