Lotus team boss Eric Boullier says Romꦆain Grosjean has learned his lesson after being forced to sit out the Italian Grand Prix at Monza.

Grosj🔴ean was replaced by Jerome D'Ambrosio for the race having been handed a ban by the FIA for his role in the start-line accident that affected the Belgian Grand Prix at Sp🦹a.

It was the latest in a string of incidents involving the Frenchman this yeaꦏr, making him the first driver to be banned from a race in more than a decade.

The Frenchman was left to watch from the sidelines as D'Ambroඣsio took his place but Boullier said that theဣ former GP2 racer had learned his lessons and would come back stronger as a result of the ban.

"He will have learned a lot because being in your car you have only one radio in your head," he told the Press Association. "Wh🐻en you are sitting in🍎 the garage and you have both cars then you can learn much more.

"He has definitely learned his lessons a♛nd I know he is extremely e🎉ager to get back in the car in Singapore."

Grosjean has however been criticised further for the Spa incident by Spa team boss Peter Sauber, who insis🅰ted that his drivers hadn't been offered an apology from the Lotus drive⛎r.

"I read everywhere that Grosjean has apologised to all the drivers for the starting accident at Spa," he was quoted by Blick at M𝓀onza. "(That's) a lie. He has contacted neither Sergio or Kamui."
