Lotus has revealed its 2012 contender, the E20, via YouTube. It is the team’s first car since it changed its name from Renault to Lotus and will be driven by Romain Grosjean and Kimi Räikkönen. Team Principal Eric Boullier stated that though the design looks conventional, there are a lot of ‘subtle’ innovations.
Boullier: “It is true that the team’s reputation is good in terms of innovation and we brought through the last years some nice ones and let us say some more delicate ones, but definitely we have some this year.”
The team enjoyed several titles under its old names of Renault and Benetton and Boullier said that he hopes the E20 will help them get back at the front of the grid. He said: “My biggest hope is obviously to bring the positivity back again and to make sure this team is again at the front of the grid and for many years and a long time.”
