Lotus F1 is the latest team to reveal its new car for the 2014 Formula One World Championship. The car carries the E22 designation and will be driven in the new season by existing Lotus driver Romain Grosjean and newcomer Pastor Maldonado. Sure to prove controversial is the car’s new split-nose design, which Lotus has selected to meet new regulations dictating that the front wings are narrowed by 150 millimeters. The E22’s undertray is also lower than that found on last year’s E21, while at the rear there is no longer a lower beam-wing and the main-flap is shallower. Powering the car is a power unit sourced from Renault, which like the power units developed by rival engine suppliers Ferrari and Mercedes-Benz consists of a turbocharged 1.6-liter V-6 paired with an electrified Energy Recovery System.
