Why Lotus is right to keep Grosjean

First impressions count. Unusually, Romain Grosjean has had two cracks at making his first impressions in Formula 1 and not come out of it well on either occasion.

So it's no surprise that some will rail at Lotus keeping the 26-year-old and argue that he should have been flicked in favour of letting some fresh blood have a chance. But they are wrong. Lotus has made the only decision it could have done if it is to be taken seriously as an emerging world championship-challenging force.
