Team Lotus renews with Red Bull and Renault for 2013
di Staff25 September 2011
Team Lotus will use Renault engines and Red Bull's rear axle and KERS in 2012 and 2013. Tony Fernandes' team announced it today. The collaboration, apart from the KERS system, was already contracted for 2011 and 2012 so the one-year extension will also cover the last season of the V8 era for Team Lotus.
Team Lotus has said it aims to renew with Red Bull and Renault even "when the new engine rules come into force" in 2014.
“This year we have laid a solid foundation with the agreement with Team Lotus and this latest agreement consolidates the relationship, we want to continue for more years to come” said Jean-Francois Caubet of Renault Sport F1.
