The Lotus E22 is a Formula One racing car designed by Lotus to compete in the 2014 Formula One season.[2] It will be driven by Romain Grosjean and Pastor Maldonado,[1] who replaced Kimi Räikkönen after Räikkönen left the team to rejoin Ferrari. The E22 has been designed to use Renault's new 1.6-litre V6 turbocharged engine,[3] the Energy F1-2014.[4]

The team was forced to miss the first pre-season test at Jerez de la Frontera,[5] but released computer-rendered images of the car in the week beforehand, showing a distinctive forked nose design.[6]
