Romain Grosjean's third-place finish in the Belgian Grand Prix was arguably the most popular result of the 2015 Formula One season thus far.

It has been two years since the Frenchman and Lotus were on the verge of greatness, but the team's tumble down the pecking order has prevented Grosjean from building upon his strong end to the 2013 campaign.

And Grosjean has explained how it feels to hold a trophy high above his head and to spray that celebratory champagne once again after his extended and painful absence from the podium.

One of Grosjean's bosses, meanwhile, has offered an insight into the financial concerns that saw Lotus transform from race winners to occasional point scorers almost overnight.

Alan Permane, a long-serving member at the team, has revealed the lengths Lotus have had to go to in their efforts to survive and why the outfit are pinning their hopes on a takeover by Renault.

But could Renault be set to purchase one of their closest challengers?

Despite a deal between Lotus and the French manufacturer appearing to be a formality, a rival team boss has claimed he has held discussions with Renault about a potential takeover.

The Belgian GP weekend was marred by the tyre failures suffered by Nico Rosberg and Sebastian Vettel, who missed out on a podium finish when his rear-right Pirelli exploded with two laps remaining.

The drivers, particularly the latter, have criticised F1's sole tyre manufacturer, and Pirelli have responded, but in a way none of us were expecting.

Closing this week's roundup is Jenson Button, who cut a very downbeat figure after another nightmare race for McLaren-Honda.
