Romain Grosjean wants Lotus to continue their rate of improvement as they head into the European part of the Formula 1 season.

Since switching to Mercedes engines at the start of the 2015 season, the Enstone-based constructor have regularly competed for points finishes.

Grosjean is hoping to build on good performances in China and Bahrain when the campaign resumes in Spain.

"In terms of performance we have achieved a one hundred percent record in reaching Q3 which is a very good result," Grosjean is quoted by F1i as saying.

"We could have done more in the first two races had we not had a few issues but I think that we got everything right from China onwards.

"It's very good to be in the top ten in qualifying and then play with the strategy in the race. I'm happy with the points we have scored these last couple of races, let's now get more at every race and continue to improve."

Lotus are currently seventh in the constructors' standings.
