Romain Grosjean hoping for dry Day Two at Barcelona to catch up on set-up work

Frenchman admits more wet weather last thing he needs

Romain Grosjean has conceded he isn't as prepared as he would like to be with just one further day of testing in the Lotus E21 before Melbourne.

Speaking in a separate press briefing, Lotus's Technical Director James Allison was asked if the team had considered altering its driver schedule for the remainder of the test to all-but ensure Grosjean went to Albert Park with at least one more day of dry running behind him. Allison, however, stressed that the schedule between the two drivers across all three teams would even itself out. "We made the allocations some while back and I think they all just accept that there is rough and smooth with that," he explained. "You look at the amount of miles that Romain's had in the car - he's actually ahead of Kimi as things have worked out - so I think at the end of the testing period it would have worked out pretty much fair for both of them."
