Bruno's test driving role with Group Lotus is very development focussed and will see him provide valuable input into all Lotus cars, both track and road. Commenting on the announcement Bruno Senna said: 'It's a really exciting opportunity from both Group Lotus and Lotus Renault GP. To be able to develop my Formula One career within a World Championship winning organisation and to do so in conjunction with some hugely interesting work for such an iconic sports car company as Lotus is a once in a lifetime opportunity. "Lotus has placed a great deal of faith in me and I am looking forward to beginning work on the technical side of our relationship. Giving feedback into the development of the Lotus road and race programs will be a fun but challenging way to spend time between my Formula One commitments as a reserve driver for Lotus Renault GP. "My relationship with Lotus is just at the beginning, for me the aim is to continue to make progress in my Formula One career whilst at the same time contributing to the success of the various Lotus projects I will be involved with. There are some fun times ahead!"   Lotus Director of Motorsport Claudio Berro said: "We're delighted to have Bruno on board. In his young motorsport career he's built up a great armoury of skills and experience. He's a fast learner and this talent combined with his ability to shift between different types of race car will make him a great asset to Lotus. Normally people like to talk about the 'technology transfer' between F1 and road cars but in Bruno's case we're opening this up to an intellectual transfer – we're certainly going to keep him busy!"
