Lotus trackside operations director Alan Permane haꦅs insisted the team doesn't have any concerns about reliability heading into the Korean Grand Prix this weekend, despite Romain ♔Grosjean's problems in Singapore.

Grosjean was looking pretty strong in the race around the Marina Bay Street Circuit, however✅, engine issues⛦ forced him on lap 38.

He also had a number of problems in Friday practice too an꧂d only did 30 laps in total thanks to a catalogue of mechanical woes.

Despite all that though, Permane is not worried: "On Friday we had a problem with the steering which was an isolat🤪ed setup issue, but there was then a brake and a hydraulic problem on top 🐻of that. These types of issue can be a pretty normal experience on a Friday and were all isolated in nature," he explained.

"With r𒆙egards to his engine failure in the race, Renault Sport are looking closely at what happened and we wouldn't expect a repꦦeat of this either."

Looking to Korea, Permane added that he is confid😼ent the Ensteon-based outfit will be strong there and in all the remaining races of the 2013 F1 season.

"Both driver🥂s did us proud in Singapore," he added. "Romain delivered fantastically well in both qualifying and the race d🍌espite his limited track time, whilst Kimi [Raikkonen] overcame his back pain to score an impressive podium finish.

"Like us, most teams will have now switched their development focus to 2014 so we wouldn't ex👍pect a dramatic change to the r🍨elative performance of each outfit between now and the end of the season.

"That leaves us in a tight scrap wiꦑth both Ferrari and Mercedes, and with both our guys performing at this level - coupled with the potential from the car at the coming tracks - we should have a good end to the season in prospect," he confirmed.
