Lotus have set realistic targets after unveiling the car that will bring the famous brand back to Formula 1 for the first time in 16 years.
Team boss Tony Fernandes hopes the new outfit can finish every race of what is effectively their debut season. He said their achievement in having a finished car within five months of getting an entry was "a fairy story". The car will carry Lotus's historical F1 colours of gold and green, made famous by Jim Clark and Graham Hill. Lotus, who became famous for winning a series of six drivers' titles and seven constructors' championships through the 1960s and '70s, last raced in F1 in 1994, when the team collapsed with financial problems.
