“Romain [Grosjean] is in pole position for that place and honestly it's a case of us finalizing a few details,” Gastaldi declared in a team press release.
“We expect to have an announcement very shortly. Like the technical package confirmation there has been a lot going on in the offices at Enstone, as well as the pits and paddock. It is all looking very good and exciting for the team going forwards,” he added.
Romain Grosjean is quite confident to keep his place despite the lack of an announcement.
“Maybe we think it's fun to keep the media speculating! Honestly, we're very close to having something to announce but there's no pressure on when we say something,” Grosjean said.
Meanwhile, his teammate Pastor Maldonado is equally confident to drive for Lotus nest year as the team switches engine supplier to Mercedes.
“It's no secret that we are all looking to 2015 with a lot of excitement. It will be my second season with Lotus F1 Team and we have worked well together in 2014. There will be a lot of changes to the car and the team is very positive about the potential of next year's chassis. At the end of the season I will get some quality time with my family then I'll return in 2015 fresh for the next challenge,” the Venezuelan declared.
