Lotus has confirmed schedule pilot tests

Team Lotus has confirmed schedule pilots on the tests in Jerez. As planned, on Tuesday and Wednesday at the wheel of a Lotus E21 will sit Roman Grosjean, and on Thursday and Friday - Kimi Raikkonen.

Eric Bulle, team principal: "We are very excited about the appearance on the track E21. Now the team begins preparations for the first race. In many ways the beginning of pre-season tests is a step into the unknown, because no one knows what the other teams.

Some want to show a quick time to get in the headlines, others hide their speed. Ultimately, we all want to make the fastest car. Our team is no exception, and in this sense it is useful to see the first circles that will make E21".
