The **2012 Lotus E20**, piloted by **Kimi Räikkönen (#9)** under the Lotus F1 Team banner, was a powerful contender built around the Renault RS27â2012 V8 engine (circa 750â¯hp at 18,000â¯rpm), paired with KERS and a slick 7-speed gearbox. The chassis, overseen by James Allison and a skilled design team, featured advanced aerodynamic architectureâincluding refined pushrod suspension and a stepped noseâto optimize airflow under the new 2012 regulations. It marked Lotus's return under its own Enstone identity, combining technical excellence with a bold livery.
Throughout the season, Räikkönen drove the E20 to **1 win (Abu Dhabi)** and **10 podiums**, completing the season with consistent points finishes in **19 out of 20 races**, culminating in **3rd place in the Driversâ Championship** and propelling Lotus to **4th in the Constructorsâ Championship**. A standout moment came in **Bahrain**, where Räikkönen charged from 11th to 2nd, and his dominant Abu Dhabi winâLotus's first since 1987âhighlighted the team's potential. While some argue the E20 was arguably the fastest car after Red Bull and Ferrari, early-season reliability and cautious strategy limited its title potential. Nonetheless, the E20's impressive pace, development progress, and driver's consistency made it one of the most competitive midfield powerhouses of 2012.
