A day earlier than expected, the first photo of the Caterham CT01 has been released by the team. 2012 marks the third Formula 1 campaign for Tony Fernandes’ squad, which switches from the ‘Team Lotus’ name following the row over its rights. For the second consecutive season, engines will be supplied by Renault.
The team had planned to launch its car through F1 Racing on Thursday, but was forced to post photos of its 2012 contender on Wednesday morning after subscribers to the magazine received the issue one day earlier than anticipated.
This year, the outfit is relocating from Hingham in Norfolk to the old Arrows and Super Aguri factory in Leafield, Oxfordshire. Heikki Kovalainen and Jarno Trulli have been confirmed as the pair of Caterham race drivers, although question marks hover above the latter as a serious of rumours continue to circulate that he could be replaced by Lotus Renault GP outcast Vitaly Petrov.
