The Lotus F1™ Team debuted at the 2012 Australian Grand Prix with the new E20 chassis which was designed and manufactured at the team's Oxfordshire based technical facility.  The chassis is made from carbon fibre and aluminium making it strong but also light in weight – including driver, cameras and ballast the E20 weighs only 640kg.  The car is powered by a Renault RS27-2012 engine, a 2.4 litre V8 with a displacement of 2400cc and power output of 750 bhp.

Kimi Raikkonen entered Formula One in 2001 but like many drivers his early career started out in karting at the age of ten.  This culminated with securing the FIA Formula One World Drivers' Championship in 2007.  On the 29th November 2011 it was announced that Kimi would be returning to the sport by signing a two year deal with the team.
