Lotus reserve driver Jerome D’Ambrosio has unexpectedly been pressed into service this weekend at Monza.
His race debut with the Enstone team comes as a result of Romain Grosjean’s one-race ban following the first corner pile-up at Spa.

Here, he talks about life as a reserve driver while testing at Jerez.
