this lotus name is destined for epic confusion...
so now lotus is not sponsoring them...but enstone owe them money, so they use the lotus name....but enstone by nature is enstone and not lotus....just name....

and the bahar is not around....what is next?

anyhow, this is one of those good team, with good heritage.....i like them in many disguise they were....but now a big fan for kimi and grosjean....

nice article....how i wish i can work here...and those tools are my wet dream....give it to me baby....

The first 7 races provided 7 different winners then Alonso won the 8th(he won the 2nd too) and subsequently Webber also provides the doubles (6th & 9th) with the latest being Hamilton(7th & 11th).

Extracted from www.formula1.result :
1) Australia 18/03/2012 Jenson Button (McLaren-Mercedes) 
2) Malaysia 25/03/2012 Fernando Alonso (Ferrari)
3) China 15/04/2012 Nico Rosberg (Mercedes) 
4) Bahrain 22/04/2012 Sebastian Vettel (Red Bull Racing-Renault)
5) Spain 13/05/2012 Pastor Maldonado (Williams-Renault)
6) Monaco 27/05/2012 Mark Webber (Red Bull Racing-Renault)
7) Canada 10/06/2012 Lewis Hamilton (McLaren-Mercedes)
8) Europe 24/06/2012 Fernando Alonso (Ferrari)
9) Great Britain 08/07/2012 Mark Webber (Red Bull Racing-Renault)
10) Germany 22/07/2012 Fernando Alonso (Ferrari)
11) Hungary 29/07/2012 Lewis Hamilton (McLaren-Mercedes)

Next I believe is Belgium GP right? On 2/9. Then Italian GP should be on 9/9 with Singapore on 23/9. I think the break in August is to accomodate the  Olynpics.

No worries, there is the normal dose of ATP Tennis (US Open) or the weekly Golf matches.
Worse come to worse there is the Wrestling matches on other channels as well.  :Laughing_on_floor:

Woot rain predicted for the race this weekend!

Should make Eau Rouge more interesting since modern F1 cars take that corner full throttle now anyways.

I think Vettel has strong position to win championship after Belgian race unless Ferrari find the extra mile from their cars..fr  tony..

A- Out of F1
B- No way he can drive
C- Out of F1
D- With Mclaren
E- Why not?

Most logical choice would be Jerome D'ambrosio who is the Lotus official reserve driver.

Kimi would have catch up at least to 2nd or maybe better if the team had used the "double DRS" upgrade they had planned.

Sucks for Kamui though.

i think , if ever i could become an F1 driver, i be more like romain.....nervous at start.....

last time i raced in go kart, i had something similar, i snatch pole in qualifying, but racing time, i make mistake at start...too nervous thinking about possible win....then half lap later... i crashed, end up being last...never manage to catch up due to distance but afterward my lap time is quite good.......hahahhahahah

i hope not....but if LOTUS start thinking of making quick cash...they could offer to any driver with lots of sponsorship money....after all it is only one race....but i hope not, they are in good position in the championship....should look more into getting reliable driver...how about ruben?
