PARIS (Reuters) - Renault face a year of rebuilding in Formula One after taking over the financially struggling Lotus team that was on the brink of collapse, British driver Jolyon Palmer said on Wednesday.

The rookie, winner of the feeder GP2 series in 2014 and son of ex-racer Jonathan Palmer, was the Lotus reserve last year and took part in regular practise sessions at grands prix.
