След многобройните проблеми на Лотус с хидравликата и скоростните кутии през тази година, през 2011 те ще разполагат с хидравлични системи и скоростни кутии от Ред Бул. Сделката е за няколко години, но за момента срока не е уточнен.
След раздялата на Лотус с Косуърт беше ясно, че отборът на Лотус ще се насочи към друг доставчик на скоростни кутии и доста хора смятаха, че това ще бъде Рено, за които се твърди, че ще доставят двигателите през 2011 за отбора на Фернандез. Сделката с Ред Бул обаче е доста изненадваща.
Кристиан Хорнер:
We are very pleased about Lotus Racing’s decision. That Red Bull Technology has been chosen to be a supplier to another team despite its short history demonstrates how much we have achieved since our first season. We very much look forward to working with Lotus Racing from 2011 onwards.
Майк Гаскойн:
The announcement that we have reached a multi-year agreement with Red Bull Technology for the supply of our gearboxes and hydraulics from 2011 is obviously a massive step forward for us, both in engineering terms, and as an expression of our ambitions for next year and for future Championships. The gearbox/hydraulics package plays a critical role in the performance of the car, not just on track but in design and packaging terms, and this deal gives our design and aero teams a very exciting platform to work with. The removal of the double diffusers in 2011 will allow the whole grid to tighten up the rear bodywork and mechanical structures around the gearbox, and this supply deal will allow us to capitalise on that with our 2011 car. Exciting times lie ahead!
Тони Фернандез:
Din, Nasa, the whole team and I are absolutely delighted to be able to announce our gearbox and hydraulics partnership with Red Bull Technology. It is a real statement of our intention to challenge for Formula One™ honours as soon as we can that we have reached this agreement and we are very excited about integrating the package into our 2011 car. I think people in and out of the sport are going to be following our progress even more closely now we have taken this incredibly important and ambitious step, and it makes next year even more exciting. The Lotus Racing dream grows bigger every day!
