Romain Grosjean believes he could have had two grand prix victories under his belt but for fate intervening. The Haas driver might not be fighting for wins this season but during his time with Lotus, he arguably could have won his fair share of races.
As one of the most experienced drivers on the grid, Grosjean has seen his fair share of luck and unluck in his time in the sport.
"You need to have one of the two best cars to win a race, I know that, but I believe if you give me that car I can win," Grosjean told ESPN.
"There's still no reason why I can't be world champion one day.
"I have had two Grands Prix where I should have won the race but luck never turned my way.
"In Germany, 2013 the race was won clearly and then a Marussia blew the engine, parked on the side and the car rolled backwards onto the track. There was a Safety Car and Vettel won.
"Then there was Valencia, 2012 where I could have won the race and the alternator failed."
Refocusing to this season, the Frenchman says that the team have a good car and could very well be in the best place they have been since joining the sport.
"This year the car is very fast, I believe we have a very good baseline, a very good package and we can do very well.
"The team atmosphere is amazing, the cars are fast and we're fighting at the front. Obviously we would like to fight for the win a bit more but I'm enjoying my time."
