First pic: Caterham’s 2012 F1 car
This just in: Caterham F1 has revealed the first picture of its 2012 Formula One contender. And it is thus.
The racing outfit that used to be called Team Lotus but isn’t Lotus anymore because Lotus wanted to use the name Lotus, is the first team out of the blocks to reveal its 2012 Formula One car.
Chief technical officer Mike Gascoyne said “first fire up of the car due on Friday, exciting and busy days ahead”, via his Twitter account.
Caterham driver Heikki Kovaleinen also tweeted that the new car, dubbed CT-01, is “all on schedule to hit the track on the 7th of February…can’t wait”.
Caterham F1 boss Tony Fernandes said he was “incredibly proud of everyone at [the] Caterham F1 team. The start of a new dream. In two years from nothing we have built an F1 team. Can’t wait to see the CT-01 in Jerez”.
Last year Gascoyne told the BBC he wanted to “take the fight to the more established teams and start beating them” in 2012. Reckon the CT-01 is the car to do it with?
