D'Ambrosio: I'm not under pressure

With Romain Grosjean out thanks to his one-race ban following the first corner Spa shunt, Jerome d'Ambrosio has another grand prix chance at Monza. He hasn't had long to prepare but, as he tells AUTOSPORT, he's not worried...

Lotus stand-in Jerome d'Ambrosio insists that he is under no pressure in this weekend's Italian Grand Prix, even though he faces a near-impossible task to be competitive at Monza.

D'Ambrosio has not raced since last year's Brazilian Grand Prix and has only 40 laps under his belt in the Lotus E20. That was in wet conditions in a test at Mugello in May, meaning that he must acclimatise to the car in limited time while working through the team's practice programme on Friday and Saturday morning.

As the Belgian and Italian grands prix are on successive weekends, he has had only limited time to prepare after being told on Monday that he would be taking the place of the banned Romain Grosjean.
