Lopez: Lotus the Best Privateer Team

Genii Capital CEO Gerard Lopez has targeted a top three championship position for the renamed Lotus F1 squad, despite coming off a 2011 campaign that tailed off dramatically in terms of results. 

\"We are not one of the big F1 teams, but we are the best privateer team and, with Kimi [Raikkonen] on board, our intentions are clear - we aim to challenge the top three. It is very tough to take them on because they have the resources and experience.\" 

\"I must say the interest since Kimi joined our team has been very surprising,\" he noted, \"We knew he was popular, but not to this extent, and [we were] not expecting such a good response. From our side, of course, it is great to have him on board as he is a world champion who comes with vast experience and we all know he is fast. He is also a great guy.\"
