I grew up in Norfolk, went to school five miles down the road from he original factory. I grew up in era when Lotus was winning races and championships, so the opportunity to work with this team is very special. But also it is the challenge of bringing a new team and a new car into F1 in such a short space of time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/gglotus.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/MG5D9751-4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/gglotus.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/MG5D9751-4-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Lotus T157\" title=\"Lotus T127, Paul Gascoyne, Jarno Trulli, Heikki Kovaleinen\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-672\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nAdded team owner Tony Fernandez: &#8220;We know we have a huge burden on our shoulers, standing on the shoulder of giants &#8211; Clark, Moss, Hill, and Mansell.
