Lotus F1 Team today announces the appointment of Federico Gastaldi as the new Deputy Team Principal. Promoted from within the team, Gastaldi has worked for Lotus F1 Team since 2010 as Director of Business Development as the most recent role in a long relationship with Enstone. The Argentinian starts his new position immediately at this weekend’s opening Grand Prix of the 2014 F1 season in Melbourne.
Gerard Lopez, Co-Chairman & Team Principal: "We are pleased to announce our new Deputy Team Principal. Federico Gastaldi has been a valued friend of the Genii and Enstone families for quite some time. His Enstone history dates back to the Benetton days. He also works with Genii on a number of projects in South America. For Lotus F1 Team, Federico was instrumental in nurturing our relationship with PDVSA and he continues to be a vital link for us with Venezuela. In the paddock, Federico's contact base is exceptional. As a figurehead, no-one better embodies the Lotus F1 Team spirit. His understanding of the sport as a whole is impressive. Federico will work closely with myself and the rest of the Genii and Enstone family and we're confident of a very positive future for all."
