The Lotus F1 Team E21 has been unleashed today from the team’s Enstone base in Oxfordshire, England.

Kimi Räikkönen bounced back to P9 on the grid for tomorrow’s Brazilian Grand Prix after missing most of this morning’s running due to an engine failure early in the session. Despite a minimum of set-up time and a wet start to qualifying, Kimi progressed through to the top ten with relative ease. Romain Grosjean demonstrated fine pace in the morning, but contact with the HRT of Pedro de la Rosa in the Q1 session meant he was unable to set a representative time and will start the race from P18 on the grid. Kimi Räikkönen, E20-05. Q : P9, 1:13.298. FP3 : P24, No Time Set Of course we expect to do better but it’s been a tricky weekend. If I could have just done a few laps …
