The green and yellow cars are back. This isn’t Team Lotus, but the men behind Lotus F1 Racing are very aware of the heritage behind the name and hope to do it justice. Whether they can achieve that this season may be a lot to ask, they were only granted an F1 licence back in September.

Mike Gascoyne then added his thoughts, saying ‘The last few months have been some of the most challenging of my career, but it’s been a challenge the whole team and I have thrived on since we first started work on the car up in Norfolk. I’m delighted that we’ve reached this point, and now we have a beautiful car that gives us a great base to work from for the season ahead and a fighting chance of going racing in the right way, with a winning mentality. The hard part starts now, and I know everyone in the team and I are up for whatever lies ahead.’
