Lotus Renault GP have finalised their 2012 driver line-up with the announcement that Romain Grosjean will be taking the second race seat alongside Kimi Räikkönen.

The move means that both of the 2011 drivers, Russian Vitaly Petrov and the Brazilian Bruno Senna, are left to look for a race seat elsewhere, or potentially to stay with the team as test drivers.

Romain Grosjean: “I am thrilled to be one of the team’s race drivers in 2012. There’s a big grin on my face at the prospect of getting behind the wheel of next year’s car, and I feel very privileged to be given this opportunity.
