Despite poor performances in Monaco and Montreal, Lotus team principal Eric Boullier is confident that his team will bounce back to be at the front of the grid.
Lotus' lead driver Kimi Raikkonen started the season with a win in Australia and also by claiming four other podiums. In Bahrain both the drivers finished in top three.
In the last two races, Lotus managed to take three points and added to that an incident involving Raikkonen and Sergio Perez in Monaco saw the team drop below Mercedes in the constructor's Championship.
"We have lost positions, so we have to work hard to keep the pace because the car is competitive, the team is competitive and there is no reason we cannot be back and fighting for podiums," Boullier said.
"We didn't have five podiums at the start of the season just by chance. It is because the package is competitive - we may struggle sometimes on some tracks, but we know this now and we have to work on this now to avoid this happening again this season on low-energy tracks. We have to make a step forward - we have some developments coming for Silverstone, so that should help to close the gap to the leaders," he said.
