Lotus team principal Eric Boullier says they can finish second in the Constructors’ Championship if they maintain their current run of form, according to Sky Sports.
The Enstone-based squad are currently fourth in the standings, trailing second-placed Ferrari by 33 points and 23 points behind third-placed Mercedes.
However, in the last two races Lotus have scored 58 points compared with 23 for Ferrari and 20 for Mercedes and Boullier is hoping they can continue to score big points in the remaining four races.
“If we continue as we have done for the last few races, then mathematically second in the standings becomes a very attainable target,” the Frenchman said.
“Of course, we all know that anything can happen in this sport, but second place would be an amazing result so we’ll push as hard as we can and you never know what might happen.”
