HEIKKI KOVALAINEN Heikki started his motor racing career karting in the early 1990's. His first recognition came with second place in the Finnish Formula A Championship in 1999 and 2000. That year also saw Heikki add the Scandinavian Championship and the Elf Masters, held at Paris Bercy, to his achievements, earning him the title of Karting Driver of the Year in his native Finland. Heikki’s success saw him move up to the British Formula Renault Championship in 2001, bringing two wins, two poles and three fastest laps, enough to give him fourth place in the Championship, plus the 2001 Finnish Automobile Sports Federation "Rookie of the Year" award. That same ye…

The legendary Team Lotus name has returned to Formula One™ for the 2011 season, but to trace the roots of the return of one of world sport’s most iconic names we have to go back to 2009. On September 12th 2009 the team, then known as Lotus Racing, was officially born when the FIA granted its entry into the 2010 FIA Formula One™ World Championship. Headed up by Team Principal Tony Fernandes and Deputy Team Principals Kamarudin Meranun and SM Nasarudin, supported by Chief Technical Officer Mike Gascoyne and Chief Executive Riad Asmat, the team made its base in Hingham, Norfolk, near the original home of Team Lotus and set about its 2010 challenge of winning the battle o…

An Interview with Graham Watson TL: Mr Watson, Team Manager! It's the middle of January, the car's due to fire up soon... What's going on in your world? GW: My world is very busy. Obviously with the car there are always ongoing things and it's a tight schedule up to the first test, plus there's always lots of production going on in the background. From an operational side we're heavily into booking everything for the season; flights, hotels, hire cars and all the logistics of moving a Formula One™ team around the world! While we have to manage all of the personnel and car requirements, you have to think about all pieces and aspects of a team.…

Team Lotus is delighted that we were successful at the Summary Judgment Application hearing today and that the Judge threw out Group Lotus' application even before hearing the arguments of the barristers on either side. Although this decision was never in doubt, it means that we start the 2011 season under the Team Lotus name. Whilst we expected that the Judge would refuse this application, it is good to have the decision in black and white. The Judge also felt that it was in everyone's best interests to bring the hearing date for the full trial forward and that is now fixed for 21st March rather than us having to wait until Autumn 2011 or even later. We remain co…

Eric Boullier has accused his fellow F1 team principal Tony Fernandes of being ‘wrong’ in his efforts to perpetrate what he calls a ‘fake’ notion that Lotus Racing is an extension of the iconic Team Lotus that once dominated the sport and conquered the hearts of millions of fans all around the globe. The ongoing standoff between F1 2010 newcomer Lotus Racing and the team that will soon be rebranded Lotus Renault GP after Proton – the owners of Group Lotus – purchased the remaining 25 per cent of the Renault F1 outfit, remains as unresolved as it has ever been. The latter’s managing director has spoken to Italian website 422race.com to give his take on the…
