Federico Gastaldi: 'Pain will spur Lotus on in 2015'

By , Reporter
Lotus will use the "pain of 2014" to spur them on next season, according to deputy team principal Federico Gastaldi.

Lotus Renault deputy principal Federico Gastaldi is adamant that the team will use the "pain of 2014" to push for improvement next season.

Despite having competed with Red Bull for race victories at the end of 2013, Lotus have amassed just 10 points in the constructors' championship so far this term.

However, Gastaldi has insisted that Enstone-based team will work hard to turn around their fortunes.

He is quoted by GPUpdate.net as saying: "The pain of 2014 will only inspire us to make sure it does not happen again.

"For the race teams there will of course be some time to refresh, but straight away we will all be back at the factory and pushing the limit for 2015."

Lotus's last race win came from Kimi Raikkonen at the 2013 Australian Grand Prix.
