(Bernard Asset - Renault Sport F1)
 
The Lotus F1 Team have confirmed that they have promoted Frederico Gastaldi to the position of deputy team principal in a management reshuffle. Gastaldi, who has been with the Enstone based team since 2010 as the teams Director of Business will work closely with acting team principal Gerard Lopez.
 
Speaking about the new appointment Lopez said that Gastaldi 'As a figurehead, no one better embodies the Lotus F1 Team spirit. His understanding of the sport as a whole is impressive'.
 
Lotus have endured a very difficult time over the Winter particular as they lost Eric Boullier who resigned and joined McLaren as their Director of Racing.
 
Lopez went on to say: 'We need to ensure rapid progress with our car this season'.
 
So far in the first practice session in Albert Park on Friday morning neither Lotus driver have managed to set a lap time and Pastor Maldonado went out for a installation but ran wide at low speed and the car stopped in the pit-lane.
