Lotus reveal first images of Mercedes-powered 2015 car

Lotus have released pictures of their new Mercedes-powered E23 Hybrid car, which they are confident will prove ‘far, far better’ than its 2014 predecessor.

While the team will retain last year’s line-up of Romain Grosjean and Pastor Maldonado, they believe the switch from Renault to Mercedes power, and the implementation of lessons learned from last year’s struggles, will thrust them back to the sharp end of the Formula One grid
