Thankfully for Lotus, Quantum Motorsports have stepped in a purchased a 35 percent stake in the team from owners Genii Capital. This deal was announced in June, but only finalized very recently. As a result, the team have struggled to pay their suppliers and Raikkonen, although the rest of the crew have been paid. However, nothing will change for the 2014 season though. With the Ferrari deal already signed. The Iceman will move back to Maranello after being told to leave in 2009. The chaps over at Quantum Motorsports are piping Nico Hulkenberg who currently drives a Sauber to succeed Raikkonen.Pictures used for illustration purposes only.
