“We are certainly campaigning for Petronas to come over to us," said Fernandes.
"We think it is logical as a Malaysian team that they should be somehow involved in it. But we'll have to make our case."
"My personal preference would be to try to get someone with lots of experience, even though he may be ending his career, who can add a lot of experience and develop the car," Fernandes said.
"Having the right personality that can transfer knowledge and enjoy working with people, I think is critical...there's no point throwing someone in at the deep end if he's not ready either."
Although Lotus’s technical operation, led by former Force India man Mike Gascoyne, will initially be based in Norfolk, the team will eventually move to a new facility at Malaysia’s Sepang International Circuit.
