Caterham have revealed their 2013 contender, the CT03, at the Jerez circuit before the first test session this morning. Charles Pic and Giedo van der Garde will be driving for the team this season.
In 2012, Caterham finished 10th for the third consecutive season, but with Marussia now having KERS too, it's going to be much harder. However, Caterham have made big changes to the sidepods, diffuser and cooling system, and more updates should come after the Australian Grand Prix.
Cyril Abiteboul said, "this is the first car we have produced since I joined the team so this is a proud day for me. I am very pleased that we have been able to allocate our resources and budgets as efficiently as possible to produce a car that will allow us to consolidate our position in Formula One whilst also starting work on the 2014 car as early as possible."
Charles and Giedo are both young and dynamic and we expect that their enthusiasm for the sport and the team will be fuelling our growth. Additionally, they provide clear proof of our dedication to developing young driver talent and now, any aspiring driver who dreams of F1 can see that there is a clear route to the F1 grid under the guidance of the Caterham Driver Development Program, the 2013 format of which will soon be presented."
"The move to Leafield was the last big piece of the jigsaw, and now we are settled in our new, permanent home, we are in the process of increasing our integration level to better control the quality, cost, and lead time of our supply chain. I am confident that this will ultimately translate into faster laptimes to reduce the gap with the midfield cars. CT03 is the first car to be built in Leafield and while we are realistic enough to know that we are not going to be the fastest car on the grid, we do think we will have one of the best looking cars in 2013. I will be working so that one day we have both!"
