Romain Grosjean says he’s glad the 2014 season has finally finished after enduring his worst ever season in which he scored just eight points.
That compares with the Frenchman’s success the year before when he scored 132 points and claimed six podiums.
“We did the best we could here,” Grosjean said after finishing 13th. “My race wasn’t that eventful and I think that we are all glad that the season is now over.
“I am already looking forward to being in the simulator to test the E23. We have a new Power Unit and aerodynamically next year’s car is looking like a great step forward.
“Now it is time to take a break, recharge our batteries and look forward to 2015.”
Team-mate Pastor Maldonado shares Grosjean’s view after a fiery end to his season in Abu Dhabi which saw him retire from the race on lap 26.
“Unfortunately, my race had to end early,” said the Venezuelan.
“The flames showed the engine wasn’t working too well which also meant it was getting quite hot in the car!
“It is a shame to finish a season like we did, but I know we have a lot of potential for 2015, so I am really looking forward to surprising some people when we return.”
