Lotus, particularly Romain Grosjean, endured a torrid 2014 season where from a front runner and potential race winner in 2013 he was in among the backmarkers last season, but after his first day at the wheel of the Lotus E23 the Frenchman was upbeat.
He said at the end of the final day at Jerez, "My first impressions of the E23 Hybrid are good. Both the Power Unit and the chassis are going in the right direction. I completed over fifty laps today and I can honestly say that all of them were enjoyable to drive."
Lotus ditched their long standing association with Renault, and are now a Mercedes powered team.
Grosjean added, "The team has made very good progress if you consider where we were this time last year. It’s a very good start and I’m a happy driver."
The team will next appear in test action at the Circuit de Barcelona Catalunya on February 19-22.
