Lotus: We need to take a big step forward

At Lotus, a big step forward will have to be made this weekend in Malaysia, COO Alan Permane admitted.

“Simply put, we ended up with such sad races as last weekend. We haven't finished finishing the car yet either. We are aware that we are far behind, but we have worked hard to make up for lost time, ”says Permane.

“That’s not the way we want to continue racing. In Malaysia, we need to take a big step forward and we work hard every hour to ensure that step. I am confident that progress will be known within two weeks. "

Deputy Chief Operating Officer Federico Gastaldi added: “Even if the results don’t show up, everyone on the team has worked hard. Both of our cars ended up with a problem on the same component and both we and Renault Sport f1 know what to focus on to correct these mistakes to the Malaysian GP. Of course, we need to make other improvements as well. We know what we have to do and we will do it. ”
