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. D’Ambrosio remains one of the biggest question marks over the Italian Grand Prix, finding himself in a competitive car for the first time; the E20 being a vast improvement over last year’s Virgin. Here, he talks about life as a reserve driver while testing at Jerez.
