Both brands announce a unique partnership at the Monaco Grand Prix for a digital celebration.

While Lotus F1 Team will contest its 500th Grand Prix in Monaco, the No.1 digital game in the world – Angry Birds – has just reached 1 billion downloads. As a result, both brands have decided to join forces to celebrate these respective milestones.

To commemorate this noteworthy occasion, Rovio's famous game will become the team's "Official Angry Partner", represented by eye catching Angry Birds branding on the team's E20 cars.

In addition, a unique version of the Angry Birds game will be available exclusively from the team's Facebook fan page for a limited period of time. 'Lotus F1 Team Angry Birds', specifically designed for the Monaco Grand Prix, will be playable from Wednesday May 23rd onwards.

A video teaser of the game can be seen on the team's dedicated YouTube channel, by clicking here.

The Finnish entertainment media company and the Finnish world-renowned driver will be collaborating on co-branded Angry Birds Space clothing that will be sold through the Angry Birds web shop later this spring.

Kimi will also be sporting an Angry Birds design on his team cap during the Formula One season.

Angry Birds Space is a brand new game from Rovio, featuring interstellar gameplay ranging from slow-motion puzzles to lightspeed destruction. The Angry Birds have also been transformed into superheroes, including the new character Ice Bird, which will be featured on Kimi's cap.

Angry Birds Space arrives on iOS, Android, PC, and Mac on March 22.
