According to the words of the head of Lotus, Eric Boullier, his team has shown a very positive image in the tests, which means he will fight hard for the podium.

Lotus this year seemed to be able to fight and take a better position than last year. The head of Lotus is very satisfied with the performance of his team, while he did not disappoint and did not lose his stamina at all when during the winter tests in Jerez, one car had some problems with its chassis. It may have delayed the team's schedule a bit, nevertheless with hard work they managed to find the E20 in the last tests of the season, with Kimi Raikkonen finishing first on the final day in Barcelona.

More specifically, Eric Boullier mentioned that they are very close to the strong teams (Red Bull and McLaren) and the time difference has decreased quite a bit compared to last year. So, this year, with enough pressure and certainly a bit of luck, the E20 will follow the... fast cars, perhaps threatening their position.
