One Malaysia formula one team aka lotus has signed it’s first driver. Public announcement soon. The dream continues.

About who the driver is, rumor has it that Japanese Kamui Kobayashi would be perfect for this job. The Japanese driver even admit that if he had to choose a team considering that Toyota already quit from the pinnacle of motorsport, he would go for Lotus.

On the other hand, Italian veteran, Jarno Trulli also has been linked with a move to  Lotus without any confirmation yet.

Malaysian Fairuz Fauzy also could be the driver but the team’s Chief Technical Officer Mike Gascoyne recently announce that 27-years-old  Fauzy only will be a third driver (test driver) for the team considering that Fauzy is in the lack of experience.   “Fairuz will be in the team probably as a reserve driver or a test driver. He has the talent but we don’t want him to ‘crash and burn’ in the race because of his inexperience,” said Gascoyne.
