The Lotus Renault GP team announced last week that Brazilian Bruno Senna would replace Nick Heidfeld until the end of the 2011 season. Today, the Enstone-based team reveals the arrival of four new partners.

The press release of the team says that the agreements finalised with telecommunications giant Embratel, leading safety razor and personal care product brand Gillette, Brazilian oil and natural gas company OGX and pharmaceutical company Auden McKenzie offer global platforms through which all new partners will promote their brands.

Embratel is already a long-time personal sponsor of the team’s new race driver Bruno Senna and, following on from the 27-year-old’s successful debut for Lotus Renault GP in Spa-Francorchamps recently, the Rio de Janeiro-based company decided to partner with Lotus Renault for the remainder of the season.

OGX is the largest privately owned Brazilian oil and natural gas company, and the second largest Brazilian company in its sector.

Finally, the Auden McKenzie Group is a pharmaceutical manufacturing unit that employs over 70 people through whom the Pharmaceutical Division holds over 60 Product Licences in the UK and eight licenses in European countries.
