(Reuters) - Lotus failed to get their new Formula One car on track for the start of testing in Spain on Sunday and may have to wait until Tuesday before it makes a first appearance.

The team, who switched from Renault engines to Mercedes power units at the end of last season, explained in a statement that the new E23 car had only arrived in Jerez on Sunday after firing up at the factory for the first time the day before.
