The Caterham F1 Team was a motorsport team that competed in Formula 1 from 2010 to 2014 . It was the first team to drive with a Malaysian license. Initially, the racing team founded by the Malaysian entrepreneur Tony Fernandes appeared under the name Lotus Racing (2010) and Team Lotus ( 2011 ). After a legally resolved name dispute with the former Renault factory team, which in turn used the addition “Lotus” from 2011, the team name was changed to Caterham from 2012 . She made reference to the British sports car manufacturer Caterham Cars . In the second half of the 2014 season, the team's economic difficulties came to a head. The takeover of the racing team announced in June 2014 by a consortium in which the German entrepreneur Colin Kolles was involved failed in October 2014. As a result, the team initially stopped racing; Caterham F1 no longer took part in the Grand Prix of the USA and Brazil . At the season finale in Abu Dhabi , the team started again after the insolvency administrator was able to raise the necessary funds by means of crowdfunding . The racing team was liquidated at the beginning of 2015.

From 2011 to mid-2014, the Caterham F1 Team also operated a racing team in the GP2 series .

Location

The team was initially based in Norfolk , UK , where a workshop building with the appropriate infrastructure was used , which was built by Toyota and previously used by Bentley . In 2012 the team moved to Leafield. Here, Caterham took over facilities that had previously been used by Arrows and Super Aguri .

History of the Formula 1 team

Company history

Established in 2009

Tony Fernandes' racing team was one of three teams that entered Formula 1 at the beginning of the 2010 season. The other racing teams were HRT and Manor Racing .

In 2009, the FIA's intention was to significantly expand the Formula 1 field in the following years. After only ten teams and 20 drivers competed in the 2009 season , a total of 13 racing teams with 26 drivers should start next year. After a call for tenders in which half a dozen projects had participated, the FIA ​​selected three teams in June 2009, which were newly approved for the 2010 Formula 1 season. In addition to HRT and Virgin, this also included the US project US F1 Team , which, however, already failed in the planning phase. Fernandes' racing team was not taken into account in the decision in June 2009. It was only on September 15, 2009 that he was awarded the contract to start as the 13th team in 2010. This was made possible because the BMW-Sauber team surprisingly announced in autumn 2009 that it would end its Formula 1 involvement at the end of the 2009 season. This made the 13th place on the grid available again for the 2010 season.

Team name and name dispute

The racing team started under the name Lotus Racing in the first year of its existence , and in the second year it used the name Team Lotus . With this name, the team wanted to build on the tradition of the Team Lotus racing team founded by Colin Chapman and involved in Formula 1 from 1958 to 1994 , which had won the drivers 'championship six times and the constructors' championships seven times. In fact, Fernandes' racing team was not a legal successor to Team Lotus. Fernandes took over the rights to the name Team Lotus from David Hunt , who in turn acquired them in 1994 after Chapman's racing team went bankrupt. There was also only an indirect connection to the British sports car manufacturer of the same name, Lotus Cars . It was brokered by the automobile manufacturer Proton , who owned Lotus Cars and was also part of the Malaysian consortium that financed the Fernandes team. In order to compensate for the lack of affiliation with the classic, the team logo in the first season 2010 consisted of the outlines of the Lotus Cars logo and the traditional Lotus team colors, green with a yellow central stripe.

In the 2011 season, the British car manufacturer Lotus Cars appeared as the main sponsor of the former Renault works team. As a result, two independent racing teams with the name Lotus were registered in the Formula 1 World Championship this season: on the one hand the Malaysian team of Tony Fernandes (Team Lotus), on the other hand the team Lotus Renault GP , which drives under a British license , which meanwhile had been taken over by Genii Capital . In the spring of 2011, Lotus Cars tried to have the Malaysian racing team prohibited from using the name Lotus. In May, the court confirmed that the team could continue to use the Team Lotus name . On May 27, 2011, a British court confirmed that the Malaysian team Lotus is the official successor to the traditional name and that this name is rightly used. At the same time, the court allowed the company Lotus Cars to use the name Lotus in Formula 1 racing; Lotus Cars had to do without the addition “team”. This allowed Lotus Cars and Genii Capital to call the former Renault works team the Lotus Renault GP .

Tony Fernandes decided in autumn 2011 to register his Formula 1 team under the name Team Caterham from 2012 . This ended the name dispute after more than a year.

Financial and legal problems 2014

The holder of the Formula 1 license is Malaysia F1 Team Sdn Bhd or 1Malaysia Racing Team Sdn Bhd (also: 1MRT), a consortium of various Malaysian companies founded in 2009 by the Malaysian entrepreneur Tony Fernandes . The development and construction of the racing cars does not take place at Malaysia F1 Team Sdn Bhd , but at the British Leafield- based subsidiary Caterham Sports Limited .

After the Formula 1 team got into economic difficulties in the first half of 2014, the sale of the company 1MRT to the Arab-Swiss consortium Engavest SA was announced before the 2014 Great Britain Grand Prix . Shortly thereafter, the management of the racing team was changed. At the Grand Prix of Great Britain, the former Formula 1 driver Christijan Albers took over the position of team boss, Colin Kolles was appointed race director. After the Italian Grand Prix in 2014 , Albers resigned "for private reasons"; His successor was his previous deputy Manfredi Ravetto , a confidante of Colin Kolles, who had already worked together at HRT in 2010 . Caterham Sports Limited was initially managed by Colin Kolles' father Romulus from summer 2014 ; In October 2014, the former Romanian soccer player Constantin Cojocar took over the role of the board. Cojocar had no experience in motorsport. After playing his last soccer game in 1990, he had not appeared in public for 24 years and had since made his living as the director of a Romanian logistics and transport company called SC Transbus Codreanu SRL . According to his own account, Cojocar only applied to Caterham as a caretaker and cleaner in July 2014 . In Romanian sources it was initially doubted that Constantin Cojocar, who was hired by Caterham, was identical to the former football player of the same name, since he allegedly died a few years ago; up to a clarifying interview, there was sometimes talk of “identity theft”.

The circumstances of the sale led to a public dispute between Tony Fernandes and Engavest in October 2014, on whose side Colin Kolles appeared in particular. The external trigger was the insolvency of the service provider Caterham Sports Limited (CSL) and the subsequent opening of insolvency proceedings against this company. In the course of the crisis, it became public knowledge that Tony Fernandes and his business partners had actually not yet transferred the company shares in 1MRT to Engavest and thus continued to own the team regardless of the fact that a management appointed by Engavest had been running the business since June 2014. Fernandes justified the failure to transfer shares by stating that Engavest had failed to meet its contractual payment obligations. Engavest, on the other hand, maintained all commitments, and Colin Kolles accused Fernandes of having "fooled" the new investors. On October 24, 2014, Engavest and Colin Kolles retired from Caterham F1. The management of the racing team was taken over by the insolvency administrator Finbarr O'Connell after consultation with Tony Fernandes. As a result of the insolvency, operations at CSL and also at 1MRT came to a standstill. A week before the US Grand Prix, the team announced that it would not take part in the race, just like the rival team Marussia. At the beginning of November 2014, O'Connell was convinced that he would be able to compete again at the season finale, the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix , and that he would be able to sell the team to new investors for the 2015 season .

Constantin Cojocar said in the course of the insolvency proceedings of the (CSL) in a UK court that he, together with a consortium of Romanian investors, saw the opportunity to buy CSL in order to use their services for the Forza Rossa Racing project . However, the funds of two million British pounds (around 2.55 million euros) per week promised by the consortium never flowed.

Caterham F1 had registered with the FIA ​​to take part in the 2015 World Championship; Forza Rossa, however, did not appear on the provisional entry list for 2015.

In December 2014 it became known that the insolvency administrators were in talks with three potential buyers. However, this was slow, so that at the beginning of January 2015 no buyer had been found for the team. The insolvency administrators then announced that Caterham would not take part in the test drives from February 1, 2015 in Jerez if the sale had not taken place by then.

Races

2010: Debut with Cosworth

Jarno Trulli at the Bahrain Grand Prix

In the 2010 season, Lotus Racing competed with the Lotus T127 designed by Mike Gascoyne . The name of the car consciously continued the tradition of the Lotus team, whose last Formula 1 model was the 109 (1994). The development of the car took place under great time pressure given the late approval of the team. Still, the T127 was unanimously recognized by observers as the best of the cars used by the three new teams. Like the HRT F110 and the Virgin VR-01 , the Lotus used eight-cylinder Cosworth engines . A transmission from Xtrac served as power transmission . The tires came from Bridgestone . As a driver committed Fernandes with Heikki Kovalainen , who previously for McLaren had gone, and the former Toyota pilots Jarno Trulli two racers who possessed some experience in F1.

Unlike its competitor HRT, Lotus Racing was fully operational in its first race in Bahrain . The pilots qualified ahead of a Virgin and ahead of both HRT drivers. Both drivers were rated in the race: Kovalainen was 15th, Trulli 17th. As the season progressed, Lotus emerged as the best of the three new teams. The drivers qualified for every Grand Prix. In most cases, they started ahead of Virgin and HRT cars. Most of the drivers crossed the finish line; Over the entire season, only 11 failures due to technical reasons or due to driving errors were recorded. However, Kovalainen and Trulli did not finish in the points. The best result was Kovalainen's 12th place at the Japanese Grand Prix . Since HRT and Virgin did not achieve the same or better result, Lotus was ranked tenth in the constructors' championship at the end of the season.

Lotus Racing celebrated the 2010 Canadian Grand Prix as the 500th Lotus race.

2011: Change to Renault engines

For the 2011 Formula 1 season, Fernandes' team upgraded from a technical point of view and thus stood out from the other two so-called new teams, which for financial reasons kept their previous technology packages more or less unchanged. The racing team, now called Team Lotus, used an eight-cylinder Renault engine (type RS27-2011) this season. As part of a cooperation agreement with Red Bull , Lotus took over the power transmission and the entire hydraulic system from the world championship team for the new T128 , again developed by Gascoyne . As in the previous year, the team decided not to use the KERS energy recovery system . The driver pairing remained unchanged in the team's second year. Jarno Trulli was only replaced by Lotus test driver Karun Chandhok at the German Grand Prix .

During the season, the Lotus-Renault was again a reliable car. There were only nine failures in 19 grand prizes. As in the previous year, the car was significantly faster than the vehicles of the other two new teams. However, Lotus did not manage to close the gap to the midfield teams. Fernandes' team failed to score a World Championship point in 2011 either. The best result was several thirteenth places. They led to the Lotus team finishing 10th in the constructors' championship at the end of the year.

2012: Re-formation as Caterham F1

Heikki Kovalainen at the 2012 British Grand Prix

For the 2012 Formula 1 season, Gascoyne designed the Caterham CT01 , which was a further development of last year's Lotus model. The most noticeable design feature was a stepped vehicle nose, which was caused by rule changes with regard to aerodynamics. The drive technology came again from Renault and Red Bull. A KERS system was used for the first time. Heikki Kovalainen stayed with the team as driver, while Jarno Trulli was replaced by Vitaly Petrow four weeks before the start of the season . Petrov brought a sponsorship package into the team, the volume of which, according to press reports, amounted to 10 million euros. The CT01 was faster than its predecessor. Kovalainen succeeded several times in advancing into the second training section during qualification training ("Q2"). The best result was Petrov's 11th place at the end of the season in Brazil , which was also the best result in the team's history. In the final standings, Caterham was again in 10th place in the constructors' standings.

2013: Continuation of the previous concept

Caterham did not develop a new car for 2013 , the last Formula 1 season to be held under the previous regulations. The vehicle designated as CT03 was just a revised version of last year's CT01. Outwardly, there were hardly any differences. The team also retained the aesthetically dubious stepped nose; a cover by a so-called vanity screen , which most other teams made use of this year, was not developed. The team management stated that they had to rely on the use of two paydrivers for financial reasons . Instead of Kovalainen and Petrow, Caterham signed the French Charles Pic and the Dutch debutant Giedo van der Garde . With the same material, the team's performance declined compared to the previous year: the best result was two 14th places (Pic in Malaysia and van der Garde in Hungary ). At the end of the year, Caterham fell back to 11th and last place in the constructors' championship after Marussia Racing had achieved a better individual result by finishing in 13th place.

2014: bankruptcy

In the 2014 Formula 1 season, Caterham competed with hybrid engines from Renault; The drivers were the Swedish Formula 1 debutant Marcus Ericsson and the Japanese racing driver Kamui Kobayashi, who returned to Formula 1 after a one-year break. Kobayashi waived a salary at Caterham. He also collected donations before the season to finance his cockpit. This resulted in around one million euros.

Like the other Renault teams, Caterham had significant problems with the implementation of the new hybrid technology before the start of the season. During the test drives before the start of the season, the Caterham drivers were only able to cover a few laps with the newly developed CT05 ; repeated failures occurred as a result of electrical defects. A special feature of the CT05 designed by Mark Smith was the unconventionally designed front section.

At the season opener in Australia , both Caterham drivers did not cover a timed lap in Friday practice. Ericsson's car had electronic problems again, while Kobayashi's car went up in flames after a broken fuel line. The team also suffered from technical problems as the season progressed. Ericsson finished 11th at the Monaco Grand Prix for the second time in the team's history, the best ever for Caterham. Since the Canadian Grand Prix , Caterham has been the team with the most non-point starts.

The new Caterham management, which led the team from the Grand Prix of Great Britain, stated that it was important that the drivers contribute to the financing of the racing team. With this in mind, the German racing driver André Lotterer received Kobayashi's cockpit at the Belgian Grand Prix . Lotterer's commitment, which was also his Formula 1 debut, was financed by the Belgian energy drink manufacturer Hype of the former racing driver Bertrand Gachot . Kobayashi returned to the Caterham cockpit from the Italian Grand Prix . However, the team management reserved the right to re-engage paying drivers for some of the remaining races. For the last three races of the season, Rubens Barrichello tried to take over Kobayashi's cockpit; Barrichello's comeback failed because of the bankruptcy of the racing team.

After the team skipped the US and Brazilian Grand Prix, Caterham returned to the final race of the season in Abu Dhabi in late November 2014. On November 14, 2014, the insolvency administrator announced that it had collected a total of 1.79 million British pounds in the past week through a crowdfunding campaign from donations from fans. In the same way, the Italian team Coloni had already financed participation in the last two races of the season in 1991 . Caterham's participation in the race was primarily intended to interest potential investors in taking over the racing team. One of the cars was registered for Kamui Kobayashi, the second for British Formula 1 debutant Will Stevens , who, according to the liquidator, contributed a significant portion of the funds needed to compete in Abu Dhabi. Stevens replaced Marcus Ericsson, who had already terminated his contract with Caterham in early November. Both Caterham started the race from the back row; their training times were each more than three seconds longer than Nico Rosberg's pole time . In the race, Kobayashi dropped out after 42 laps due to a technical defect; Stevens was 17th and last, one lap behind. Following the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, the team and Will Stevens also took part in the final tests of the season at the Yas Marina Circuit .

Based on the developments at Caterham, the insolvency administrator of the likewise insolvent competitor Marussia tried to get his team to start in Yas Marina. The very short-term attempt, which only became known on the Wednesday before the race, failed on the same day after the insolvency administrator (unlike the Caterhams) failed to raise the funds necessary for a trip to Abu Dhabi.
