Tony Fernandes, Team Principal: "We head to China aftertaking a good step forward in Malaysia, but we are all focused onthe reality of where we are now and know there we have a lot ofwork ahead of us. The main aim for me now is to improve ourreliability and make sure both cars cross the finish line onSunday. We have shown there is pace in the car, and there will bemore to come when we start putting the updates on in Europe, butnow we have to make sure we give the drivers the time they need ontrack to optimise the setup and the only way to do that is to avoidreliability issues."
Mike Gascoyne, Chief Technical Officer: "In China wehave Luiz Razia and Davide Valsecchi driving for us in FP1 and Ithink Shanghai will be another interesting weekend for us,especially as we have had two races so far in such differentconditions. In Melbourne the tyres lasted longer than I thinkeveryone expected and then in Malaysia there was much higherdrop-off and multiple stops as a result. In China we will all be inslightly unknown territory with the tyres and the coolertemperatures will mean the most important goal for us will be tomaximise our track time on Friday and Saturday morning, getting thecars set up properly for qualifying and bridging the gap to make itinto Q2."
Heikki Kovalainen (car 20, chassis T128-01): "I enjoyed mytime in Malaysia but now it's about building on the performancethere and looking ahead to China. It'll be cooler than in Malaysiafor sure, but for me the heat isn't a problem anywhere we go, andobviously that's the same for the cold! However, pace wise, I thinkthat if we can repeat our performance in the race in Malaysia thenit means we can repeat it anywhere in the world. I do enjoy drivingin China - it's similar to Malaysia in that it's a modern circuit,fairly small and it has some pretty heavy braking zones. The DRSwill come into play on the main straight and I think it'll beanother good race."
Jarno Trulli (car 21, chassis T128-03): "China is one ofthose tracks where I have never been too lucky, so it's always abit of a challenge. Despite that, we go there in a good positionafter getting pretty much the best out of the car in Malaysia. Welearnt a lot from Saturday and Sunday there, and that will be veryuseful for us in Shanghai where obviously it will be a differentchallenge, but hopefully we can have a better shot at qualifyingand let's see what happens on Sunday." |

Luiz Razia: "It was good to get back in the car and even though the suspension issue brought the session to an earlier end than we would have liked I could still feel that the car has taken a step forward since I last drove it in Barcelona. I was taking it steadily, aiming to bring the lap times down and give the team some useful feedback so it's a shame I couldn't complete the plan, but that's racing."
Heikki Kovalainen (car 20): "It's good to get through the whole day with no reliability issues and hopefully that sets us up well for the weekend ahead. The car had a good balance this morning but this afternoon the changes we made maybe didn't take us in the right direction so I wasn't quite as comfortable in FP2. I had a few issues with traffic on my performance run which meant I couldn't get everything out of it but having had a clear day we'll put in the work tonight as see where we are tomorrow."
Jarno Trulli (car 21): "Clearly it's good that I had a trouble free afternoon but I am struggling a bit with the balance to be honest. We'll work on that tonight with the data we've generated today and with another clear session tomorrow we should be able to pick up where we left off in Malaysia."
Thierry Salvi, Renault Sport F1 Support Leader: "That was a good Friday engine-wise. We were able to set up the engines according to the driver requests and we worked through a program that tested a number of maps and the feedback we have had is good. We have definitely taken another step on from Sepang and as the ambient conditions here are less severe than in Malaysia the engine is consequently under less stress so I think we should be able to continue the progress through qualifying and into the race and maximise our performance across the weekend."
Mike Gascoyne, Chief Technical Officer: "That was a far more productive Friday than we have had in the two previous races this season and I think it is a measure of our increased competitiveness that we are actually a little disappointed with the overall pace. We ran Luiz Razia this morning and he did a good job for the team, despite having a suspension problem that brought his run to a premature end. With the race drivers we completed the full programme on each car but traffic interrupted both their runs on the soft tyres so we are a little disappointed that we were not able to show more pace that we know is in the cars. The tyres are working pretty well here - we have found our way around the warm up issues, so while today is satisfying in terms of reliability, there is definitely more to come tomorrow and we want to be pushing towards Q2."
Riad Asmat, Chief Executive Officer: "I think that was a pretty good day for the team. We put in the laps and have accumulated some good data on the tyres so I think we're in good shape for tomorrow and Sunday." |

Finished - 20th
Heikki Kovalainen, Car 20: "From my perspective I'm very happy with that. I left it all until the last minute and swapped to a one lap run, putting myself under a bit of pressure, but I put in a good final lap and got under 1.38. After FP3 we already knew we'd have a bit of a tricky qualifying session as the track temperatures were a lot lower than yesterday and that definitely affects our car. We're quite easy on the tyres and when the temperatures drop we need to work harder to get them up to the optimum heat, which means we don't get everything out of them, but in the race conditions we're definitely stronger and you can see that we're steadily doing what we want which is to keep pushing towards the midfield."
Jarno Trulli, Car 21: "I am really happy from the driving point of view because I pushed hard out there today and said over the radio that I think I got as much as I possibly could out of the car today. I'm still working on finding the right balance but little by little we're progressing so I think we keep on doing a good job across the whole team and after a good weekend from the reliability point of view we should have a good race tomorrow."
Thierry Salvi, Renault Sport F1 Support Leader: "From the engine side we have made another step forwards. The improvements across the car from the beginning of the year are starting to pay dividends and we are now close to the optimum engine strategy. Even though we have a lot more work to do I think we are getting closer to unlocking the real potential of the car so we are pretty happy with where we are now, and the direction we are heading in."
Mike Gascoyne, Chief Technical Officer: "A trouble free day but disappointing in terms of performance. In the cooler conditions we clearly struggled more with the tyres than last week and yesterday and we were some way off the level of performance we expected. However, we have seen that even in these conditions our race pace is much better and we are considerably more competitive so I think we can take the race to the midfield group in front and do ourselves justice."
Riad Asmat, Chief Executive Officer: "We are realistic and we all knew when we woke up that the considerably lower temperature would mean we would struggle to replicate what we did in the yesterday's practice. Despite that we have had a good weekend so far, pretty much trouble free, and I know from talking to a few of the teams just ahead of us that we are starting to play a part in their strategies as they know we are very close to being able to take the fight to them in real pace. So, even though the gap is a bit bigger today than we would have liked, it is still clear that our steady progress will pay dividends over the long term." |

We knew we would struggle in the cool conditionsyesterday but today the temperatures rose and we expected to beable to put in the sort of race that would do justice to the pacethat is in the car. We will keep working hard to improve the car'sbehaviour in the cooler conditions and we can only get better fromhere."
Jarno Trulli, Car 21 - qualified 20th, finished: "I had agood start and then Heikki and I were able to pull away from thecars behind and keep to the strategy to fight with the guys ahead.My first stop wasn't great and I'm still having a few issues withthe tyre degradation but really today is about the team result. Wehave shown we are developing exactly as we want to and that's ahuge motivation for everyone."
Thierry Salvi, Renault Sport F1 Support Leader: "That is avery good result for the whole team and it is important we enjoyit. The key goal today was to get both cars across the finish lineand to achieve that, and beat both Perez and Maldonado is a bigstep forward for us. A very satisfying day."
Mike Gascoyne, Chief Technical Officer: "That was anabsolutely fantastic race from both drivers and from the pitcrewwho performed brilliantly under huge pressure. It is verysatisfying to have beaten two other midfield teams on track on paceand strategy and to be able to show that we have bridged the gap tothe established teams. Both drivers made a good start and with thehigher track temperatures we knew our race pace would be good, andso it proved. With the tyre degradation we were able to stick totwo stops, which was always our plan and that allowed us to jump acouple of people, giving us our strongest race in F1. Additionally,we were only lapped once, right towards the end of the race, so Iam very proud of the whole team today."
Riad Asmat, Chief Executive Officer: "I am actually lostfor words. We were racing today, actually taking on teams who havebeen in the sport for many years, and even though there is a hugeamount of work ahead of us, now we need to enjoy this moment, buildon this feeling and keep moving forwards." |

RODAC CONCLUDES OFFICIAL SUPPLIER DEAL WITH TEAM LOTUS
Sittard, The Netherlands 20th April 2011
Rodac International, worldwide supplier of pneumatic equipment to the automotive industry, has concluded a sponsor agreement with the Team Lotus Formula One team. For the next three years Rodac provides Team Lotus with tools and garage equipment which makes Rodac an official supplier to the Anglo- Malaysian F1 team.
Rodac International is a Dutch company that supplies pneumatic tools and garage equipment to the automotive and industrial sector. The partnership with Team Lotus begins immediately and the Rodac company logo will be displayed by Team Lotus on press communications, the website, all the race and test trucks and in the Team Lotus Garage.
Previously Rodac has been the sponsor of the Super Aguri F1 Team and the company is pleased to commit their name to a Formula One team again. Leon J.W. Melchior, CEO of Rodac International: “We are very proud that Rodac becomes and official supplier of Team Lotus and that our company name can be added to the list of well known Team Lotus partners and suppliers including Renault, Air Asia, CNN and Pirelli. With our equipment we hope that we can contribute to the success of the team.”
About Rodac International
Rodac International is originally an American company that has been founded by Mr. Rodstein 50 years ago. From a location in the Netherlands that opened afterwards, Rodac became active in the European market. After the closing down the American site, Rodac continued as an independent entity in Europe. In the mean time, Rodac has grown significantly and the company has become an authority on the field of pneumatic equipment for the automotive and industrial sector. Rodac has dealers in 22 countries, but focuses mainly on the Benelux countries, Germany, Italy and Denmark. In the Benelux countries Rodac is market leader in the automotive industry and the company is rapidly increasing its market share in other countries as well.
About Team Lotus
Team Lotus began life in September 2009 when Tony Fernandes and his fellow shareholders Kamarudin Meranun and SM Nasarudin, along with Chief Technical Officer Mike Gascoyne, were given the news that their application to enter the 2010 FIA Formula One World Championship had been accepted. They immediately set about making preparations for the forthcoming season, which meant designing and building not only a race car but a whole Formula One team. Just five months later drivers Heikki Kovalainen and Jarno Trulli joined the team’s senior management for the launch of the T127 in its iconic green and yellow livery at a glittering ceremony in London. Exactly one month later on March 12th Lotus Racing, the name the team competed under in 2010, took to the track for the first practice session of the season opening Bahrain Grand Prix with the whole team drawing plaudits from around the world for the astonishing accomplishment of creating a Formula One team from nothing in just six months.
Over the following ten months the team consistently led the ‘battle of the new teams’, finally achieving their 2010 goal of finishing tenth in the championship at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Off track the numbers of staff increased throughout the season to reach the current total workforce of 240 and in a momentous announcement at the Singapore Grand Prix Tony Fernandes confirmed the team would be bringing back the iconic Team Lotus name for the 2011 season and beyond.
In 2011 Team Lotus is taking the fight to the established midfield F1 teams. With Renault engines and Red Bull Technology gearbox and hydraulic systems powering the car, and an eight month design and build process for the T128, rather than the five months they had in 2009, nobody doubts the Anglo-Malaysian squad will take a step forwards in 2011 and for many years to come until they reach their ultimate goal of Formula One World Championship glory.
