The event will also be showcased live on Sky Sports News HD in the UK, including exclusive interviews with race drivers Kimi Räikkönen and Romain Grosjean in addition to key members of the management team.
With the E21 due to break cover in just a few days’ time, yesterday evening saw team members here at Enstone witness another landmark moment in the life of the 21st Formula 1 contender to be created at our Oxfordshire home.

Zitat Lotus says technical boss Allison staying put
27 January, 2013 Lotus technical director James Allison is staying put, claims an insider at the Enstone based team, despite admitting that Mercedes’ Niki Lauda came calling for the highly rated Briton.
Last week, as the Paddy Lowe saga unfolded, we reported that Allison had been earmarked by McLaren as a possible replacement, in case Lowe jumped ship.
Actually, the Lotus insider confirmed that it had been Mercedes’ Lauda on the phone.
“Lauda calls Allison every day,†the source is quoted by Speed Week, “but James’ contract is bullet-proof.â€
Moreover, “He also doesn’t want to leave,†the Lotus insider added.
