Lotus Renault GP, known as ‘Lotus’ for the 2012 F1 season, has confirmed that it will uncover its new car on Sunday 5 February. The second black and gold contender to be raced by the team, this year’s machine features an innovative active ride height system and will be raced by Romain Grosjean plus 2007 Champion Kimi Räikkönen.
With the squad formerly known as ‘Renault’ having been bought out by Group Lotus (owned by Proton, which in turn is owned by the Malaysian government) the outfit remains based in Enstone, England. Its launch will take place through the team’s new-look website, starting at 4pm GMT on Sunday 5 February. An event relating to the launch will also be held in Jerez on Monday 6 February, prior to the start of pre-season testing 24 hours later.
On the Monday, a press conference will be held with both race drivers, Team Principal Eric Boullier and Technical Director James Allison. As the team will rent out the Jerez circuit, Räikkönen will perform several demonstration laps for the media in the afternoon.
