The Lotus E22 finally make its public debut today when Romain Grosjean took to the track as the second pre-season test got underway.

Other than a couple of rendered shots issued shortly after McLaren took the wraps off its 2014 contender, and a long range picture taken during promotional running in Jerez, little was known of the Enstone outfit's new car.

Indeed, many thought certain aspects of the car - particularly the 'twin nose' - were a bit of a red herring from the team known for its wicked sense of humour.

However, as the E22 took to the track this morning it was clear that the 'twin nose' was no piece of fiction, Grosjean, among the first to take to the track and the first of the Renault powered teams to post a time.
