Jerez testing - Day five (February 2010) - Lotus debut their new car as the rain continues to pour
Published by Mr. C
Today in Jerez all eyes will likely be on Lotus F1 Racing, who make their testing debut at the Spanish circuit. That is assuming they get any track time at all, because for the second week running, the Met Office are predicting heavy rain showers during the day, and worse to come tomorrow.
Elsewhere in the pitlane Paul di Resta gets to share the Force India with Liuzzi while Virgin Racing will be desperate to make some laps, especially with fellow newcomers Lotus on hand for some direct comparison.
On track action begins at 9am CET (8am GMT).
