Heikki Kovalainen - 14th "This was a great way to round off our first four races. I think we had the correct strategy today in what were pretty tricky conditions. The pace was good - we were again ahead of the other new teams, and this time had a good battle with Williams. The decision to stay out early on dry tyres was made by me and the team together - it wasn't wet enough to come in and as soon as the race started I could see the rain had calmed down so we agreed it was the right call to stick with the plan. The other cars on wet tyres were obviously struggling so that worked out very well. It might not always work out like this for us, but today it showed we're a good team who make the right decisions, so I'm really pleased, for everyone in Lotus Racing, and all our fans.

Jarno Trulli - DNF "It was a tough day out there from the start, which is a shame because we'd had a trouble free weekend and I was able to push for quite a few laps. The conditions weren't too bad and I was enjoying myself , but I had more hydraulics issues which brought me in on lap 18. The team did a good job to get me back out again but unfortunately the problems struck again and I had to retire. We've got a bit of time now before Spain to work on the new upgrades, so let's see what happens when we reach Barcelona."

Mike Gascoyne, chief technical officer "Whilst I'm obviously pleased I want to say first how disappointed I am for Jarno. He's had a lot of bad luck so far - it seems all our bad luck has been on his car, so apologies to him, but it was a fantastic race from Heikki. We judged all the calls correctly and were on the right tyres all the way through, so congratulations to the whole team for that. I'm also very pleased to see our race pace was very good, especially at the end on the wet conditions. These first four races were always going to be tough, but we've achieved what we set out to and now we're looking ahead to Barcelona and seeing how the updates we've been working on help us move forward."

Back Home Safe and Sound
Back Home Safe and Sound

22 April 2010

Lotus Racing was among the first Formula OneTM teams to make it safely back to their UK base after landing late last night at London Stansted, Team Principal Tony Fernandes' Air Asia having come to the team's rescue and flying them all back from Kuala Lumpur at lunchtime on Wednesday.

Having already helped the entire team escape the masses trying to leave Shanghai on Monday night, Tony and his Air Asia team performed miracles to ensure all 55 members of the team, as well as key figures from Cosworth and a number of F1TM journalists and photographers, first made it safely to Malaysia, Air Asia's home country, to be ready to jump on the first flight to the UK when the airspace finally reopened. At the same time, the team's freight has also been winging its way to England, and is now en route to Lotus Racing's Norfolk factory, where it will all be unpacked and inspected before the focus turns to the upgrade packages being applied to the cars for Barcelona.

Talking about the efforts made to get the team home was Tony Fernandes, uniquely placed in F1TM as both a Team Principal and Group CEO of Air Asia, the only airline flying directly from South East Asia into Stansted: "I'm delighted everyone's made it back to Norfolk safe and sound. The Air Asia team in KL worked extremely hard to ensure we could get everyone on the first flight out, and with the extremely tight timelines they're working to between now and the departure dates for Barcelona, it was vital we could get them all home as soon as possible. We were fully prepared for the journey back, and when I gave the team a tour of the Air Asia Academy at Sepang on Tuesday, I showed them the simulators where our pilots had been through rigorous training for flying through volcanic ash. Tough times often produce amazing results, and the team has bonded even more closely through these trying times, both internally and with the Air Asia team who helped them out. They knew they were in safe hands and it's great we could get them back ahead of most of the grid!"

Mike Gascoyne, Chief Technical Officer, was back in the office early on Thursday after the 14 hour flight back from KL landed just before midnight, and was going through the plans for unpacking the freight and turning round the cars in time for the departure to Barcelona: "Firstly I want to say thanks, on behalf of the whole team, to Tony and Air Asia for literally taking us under their wings and getting us home so quickly. With their help, we've faced minimal disruption to our travel plans, and have minimised the impact it could have had on our ability to work to our pre-Barcelona timetable, and it was a great effort from everyone in Malaysia to help us out. We will go through our normal proceedures to unpack all the freight that's arrived from China, and will then turn our attention to applying the Barcelona update package to both cars. All in all, we're just glad to be home and able to focus on our jobs again, rather than worrying about the forces of nature!"

Lotus bringing big improvements to Spain
ESPNF1 Staff
April 26, 2010

Lotus is hoping to find a second per lap with a major upgrade in time for the Spanish Grand Prix.

The team has vied for position with Virgin to be the fastest newcomer this season but has regularly been three to four seconds off the pace of the frontrunners in qualifying. Chief technical officer Mike Gascoyne has long said the team would develop the car extensively by the first European grand prix and has now confirmed that everything is still on schedule.

"The Barcelona package has been in the wind tunnel for six months," he said. "The rear is narrower, the sidepod entries more extreme, the wheelbase longer. It will be at least a second faster."

Heikki Kovalainen is wary other teams will also be bringing improvements to their cars, but is still confident his team will see a noticeable improvement in comparison.

"We might have more room [for development] than our competitors," he said, referring to the car's conservative cooling solution, its basic double diffuser and the steel suspension uprights fielded so far this season.

Team boss Tony Fernandes said he is pushing Lotus to set high targets.

"You've got to benchmark yourself against the best, otherwise don't bother being in it," he said.

BARCELONA RACE PREVIEW

Hingham, UK 30th April 2010

Two weeks is a short time in F1, but that’s how long Lotus Racing has had to fit in several months of hard work. Since China, the team has, in order, beaten the Icelandic ash cloud, unpacked and repacked 34 tonnes of freight, run an intensive series of tests on Chassis T127-02, fitted an entire upgrade package to the race cars, taken delivery of its newly painted race trailers (in a matching colour scheme to the race cars) and flown the race team back to Barcelona.

Mike Gascoyne “Now the first four flyaway races are behind us and we’re into the European season. All the teams will have upgrades for Barcelona, but we’re hoping that ours is even more significant than our rivals because we received our entry so late and had to freeze the initial specification of the car very early in the design process. We do expect it to be reasonably significant – we have an aero package with revised sidepods, front wings and brake ducts, and a number of mechanical changes, but obviously we’ll have to wait and see what step forward our rivals will also make. Straight after Barcelona we go to Monaco which is a totally different challenge. It’s a unique place in terms of its configuration. Everyone runs maximum downforce and obviously it’s a very tight, bumpy street circuit, but the experience our two drivers bring, combined with the progress we’ve made at the factory and on track, gives me confidence we’ll put in a good showing at both races.”

Returning to the Lotus Racing factory in Hingham, Mike has seen a transformation in the team’s UK base. “It’s very gratifying to see the whole factory in full operation, with every department now nearly fully staffed but starting to work to their full potential. This means we can now look at more long-term development and R&D programmes, and start thinking about future cars. We’re through the hardest part of the team’s growth and we’re on a very good footing for the future.”

Heikki Kovalainen is now looking forward to the start of the European season having returned from China with the team on AirAsia: “I spent two nights at home in Switzerland then flew to Finland to see my family for the first time since Christmas. I’ve been doing various bits of work with my Finnish partners, relaxing a little and of course training like usual. I had some new golf clubs fitted by Nike Finland and have been practicing with them too, so my golf’s definitely improving.”

Looking ahead to the forthcoming races themselves he said: “It’s always good to get to Barcelona as it’s where most of the teams bring their first big updates. It’s a very fast track and all the teams spend a lot of time there in pre-season, so we know it very well, but it’s the complete opposite to racing in Monte Carlo. In Barcelona there are more chances to overtake but nowhere else has the same glamour or prestige as Monaco. It’s so busy there on track there’s no time to relax, and there are no run off areas so you pay heavily for any mistakes. I really like street circuits - you are rewarded for good car control so I’m looking forward to getting on track and seeing what steps forward we’ve taken with the updates.”

Jarno Trulli is also excited about returning to Spain, and Monaco, the circuit where he wrote himself into the history books by winning in 2004. “I made it back home from China with a number of the other drivers, but we got back safely and I’ve been home with my family since then. I’ve managed to fit in a number of good training sessions, and am looking forward to getting back in the car. I think I’ve had a fair bit of bad luck so far, but I’m looking to put that behind me and see how much further forward we can go with the updates. I’ve kept in close touch with the team about the tests they’ve put the car through, and am encouraged by the results they’ve had. I think we’ll take a good step forward in Spain.

“I like Barcelona - we all know every bit of it very well as we test there a lot, and have raced there for years. Monaco is obviously a very special place for me – a lot of my fans will be out in force, and I love going back to where I’ve won, so that’ll be a busy, but good week.”

Team Principal Tony Fernandes has been thinking about how the team has established itself, both on track and in the hearts and minds of F1 fans: “We’re back in Europe and I couldn’t be more pleased with the position we arrive in. The first phase of Lotus Racing’s life is now behind us, and the next challenge starts here. We’ve proved all the doubters wrong, and have shown that the hard work everyone in the team puts is making the dream we share come true. I remember the immense pride I had when I first saw the cars run in the pre-season tests in Spain, and in Barcelona we’re back, ahead of the other new teams and with a new package that will help us push on closer to the next goal, which is to take on the midfield. Ultimately it’s about taking Lotus Racing to the front of the grid and this marks the next step in that journey.

“On a personal level I’ve always loved coming to Spain, and with Monaco straight afterwards I’m very excited about seeing how our fanbase is growing into the traditional heartland of Formula One™. We’ve broken new ground in Australia, Asia and China and now we’re back at the scene of some of the most famous moments in the Lotus history.”

Lotus Racing

we're looking for at least a second from the upgrades but know all the other teams will also be looking to move forward. We think we can make a pretty significant step up as we had the freeze the design of the first car very early, so let's see.... we're aiming to now kick on and start challenging the midfield. We can't sit still and keep being happy with the best of the new teams tag, so it's time to move up a level - wish us luck!

Lotus targets step forward
ESPNF1

Lotus technical chief Mike Gascoyne believes that upgrades made in time for the Spanish Grand Prix will give his team a significant performance boost in comparison to their rivals.

"All the teams will have upgrades for Barcelona, but we're hoping that ours is even more significant than our rivals because we received our entry so late and had to freeze the initial specification of the car very early in the design process," said Gascoyne.

"We do expect it to be reasonably significant - we have an aero package with revised sidepods, front wings and brake ducts, and a number of mechanical changes, but obviously we'll have to wait and see what step forward our rivals will also make.

We're through the hardest part of the team's growth and we're on a very good footing for the future."

Team boss Tony Fernandes echoed Gascoyne's optimism, saying he was delighted with the start to the season and looking forward to the next stage of development.

"We're back in Europe and I couldn't be more pleased with the position we arrive in. The first phase of Lotus Racing's life is now behind us, and the next challenge starts here.

"We've proved all the doubters wrong, and have shown that the hard work everyone in the team puts is making the dream we share come true."
