Speaking this Friday, the team&#8217;s technical chief Mike Gascoyne stated that the two chosen drivers will be revealed in a month and a half.<\/p>\n<p>Having secured a spot on the grid in 2010, the Malaysian team initially announced last month that its drivers would be revealed at the end of October from a list of six candidates, but they decided to take their time: &#8220;We will take the best drivers who are available,&#8221; said Mike Gascoyne in Kuala Lumpur. &#8220;I believe we are a good new team and several very experienced drivers are interested in us.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Speculation in Malaysia suggested that Jarno Trulli, whose contract with Toyota expires at the end of this season, could form a partnership with a Malaysian driver. Mike Gascoyne made no comment on the issue of hiring Jarno Trulli, but he believes that a Malaysian driver would not currently be capable of being competitive in Formula 1.<\/p>\n<p>\u00ab We will have a Malaysian driver in the car when he is able to compete with the best in Formula 1.\u00bb<\/p>\n<p>The Lotus brand was last on the grid in 1994, the venture ended due to financial reasons. Today, the team is financed by a partnership between the Malaysian government and a consortium of local businessmen. Mike Gascoyne stated that the team&#8217;s car, set to be launched in February, was designed in Norfolk. He added that he hoped for a facility to be built in Sepang, the home of the Malaysian Grand Prix, by mid-2011.<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"\/f1\/actualite\/9041-lotus-f1-team-le-point-complet-sur-lavancement-du-projet.html\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Lotus F1 Team: Le point complet sur l'avancement du projet\">See the update on Lotus<\/a><\/b>,<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"\/f1\/actualite\/9011-F1-Campos-Meta-Team-Le-point-sur-lavancement-du-projet.html\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Campos: le point sur l'avancement du projet\">Voir le point sur Campos<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"\/f1\/actualite\/8987-F1-USF1-sera-t-elle-prete-a-temps-.html\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"USF1 sera-t-elle pr\u00eate \u00e0 temps ?\">See the update on USF1<\/a><\/b> ,<\/p>\n<p>**<a href=\"\/f1\/actualite\/8998-F1-La-premiere-monoplace-Manor-GP-roulera-debut-fevrier.html\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"La premi\u00e8re monoplace Manor GP roulera d\u00e9but f\u00e9vrier\">See the update on Manor<\/a>** ,<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"\/f1\/actualite\/8997-F1-Cosworth-intends-to-compete-with-the-best.html\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Cosworth intends to compete with the best\">See the point on Cosworth<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Lotus team, making its big return to the world of Formula 1 next season, has announced that it will reveal its drivers at the end of November.
