After a busy day yesterday during which the brand-new Renault R31 was started for the first time, the team is focusing on completing the assembly of the car before heading to Valencia on Saturday.
As the F1 launch season begins, here are some details about the presentation of the Lotus Renault GP R31.
The new car of the English team will be unveiled at the Circuit de la Comunitat Valenciana Ricardo Tormo in Valencia (Spain) on Monday, January 31. This presentation will start at 12:30 PM, slightly later than originally planned to avoid overlapping with the launch of the Sauber F1 Team. Following this, there will be photo opportunities with the drivers and management of Lotus Renault GP. At 1:00 PM, interviews will begin near the press room.
