BARCELONA, Spain - Spanish female racer Carmen Jorda will be a development driver for Lotus this season, the Formula 1 team announced on Thursday (Feb 26 2015).
The 26-year-old appeared in the GP3 junior series in 2014 with little success, failing to finish in the top 10 with a car that then proved a winner when it was put in the hands of Britain's Dean Stoneman.
Lotus said she would attend races and F1 tests through 2015 and spend time in the team's simulator. Venezuelan Pastor Maldonado and France's Romain Grosjean are the regular race drivers.
