Thanks for that. As an Englishman, I love being told how to speak English by people like Aaron Andino who, I suspect, aren’t.

@looseasagoose I believe they are. The WSR champion used to get a run in a Renault but is now rewarded with a Red Bull instead.

Yes they are, but they are both constructors called Lotus. The modern Mercedes (née BAR) are a very different team to the original Silver Arrows, but they didn’t win for the first time in 2012.

D’Ambrosio too! I don’t know what they’re complaining about. :)

There may be no driver with an Italian passport, but F1’s still full of (at least partly) ethnic Italians. Di Resta, Massa, Ricciardo, Bianchi…

It’s not beige, it’s JPS Lotus gold! Looks far better and more like the Lotuses of the 70s/80s than that shade of dull, brown-y gold they had on the car at launch. That looked more like a Wolf.

Nice to see Total aren’t just crapping up Lotus’s livery this year, I suppose.

Am I the only one that loves the livery? Admittedly, the sponsors still look like they’re been fired out of a sticker-gun, but the black/grey is a stroke of genius.

I can’t believe no-one’s suggested George Harrison’s Faster. He’s being driven around by Jackie Stewart in the video, for heaven’s sake.

@jezson I’ve said the exact opposite a few comments back. ;)
Honestly, I thought the cream/yellow/gold of last season was much better than this ‘orrid blingy brown-gold, and much closer to the original JPS […]

Thoughts on the livery…
The good:
– The over-the-top Lotus branding has been toned down (five huge ACBC badges, especially the gigantic one on the nose, was too much)
– The gold lines are less bulky and […]jonchuckle commented on the post, Force India deny Sutil was dropped over Lux incident 10 years, 6 months ago

Fair enough. I meant on his overalls, etc.: he’s British as far as racing is concerned, irrespective of any personal preference. There’s no sovereign country called Scotland.
It’s like Alonso insisting he’s an […]

We were quite late with extracting what we could from our diffuser last year and I don’t think it reached its potential by a long way. There were teams out there who extracted way more than we did. Hopefully it […]
