    Hope it's fitted with a recovered energy-powered air conditioner that blows out the back. Maybe with some downforce and not overheating there'll be some passing next season. #formula1

    As a Lotus enthusiast and owner of three of them, I have to say I'm glad to see Lotus back in Formula 1. The Cosworth engine is great to see, thankfully they didn't use a Vauxhall or Toyota engine like in their current roadgoing lineup. A Cossie is the only engine fit for a Lotus race car, with the possible exception of the Ford Indy V8 used in the 1960s. I too hope they bring back the black-and-gold color scheme, although British Racing Green with yellow accents or the Gold Leaf color scheme would be nice too. #formula1

    That's a pretty funky design - intresting front wing, and little winglets flanking the air intake out back. Not to mention the running board. #formula1

    @Van Sarockin, rogue trebuchet: Err, those little winglets that would be the in-car camera pods (that all current F1 cars have)?

    If it doesn't stink of GRP, fall apart at random intervals throughout the race, play fast and loose with the driver's safety, isn't built in Hethel and doesn't have a type number, it isn't a real Lotus. It is instead the zenith of Formula 1 as a purely marketing excercise.

    Speaking of which, someone in a black polo neck and oblong glasses should have realised it should be Toyota powered, like the road cars. For like, proper marketing synergy or some such bullshit.

    BMW Sauber has found a buyer, but right now they're in limbo since they didn't sign the new Concorde Agreement. All they can do is hope one team doesn't answer the bell next year, or that the other teams agree to allow 14 entrants.

    Petronas and Proton sponsorship. Somehow, it just doesn't seem the same. That said, Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    P.S. Nice timing with the Singapore GP in two weeks' time.

    P.P.S. I saw a black Elise yesterday with gold wheels and pretended I was Mario Andretti on the generously long freeway on ramp a few seconds later.

    The Ghost of Lightness Past, called Jim, will show you how good things once were. The Ghost of Lightness Present will warn you of the dangers of racing. And finally, the Ghost of Lightness Future isn't really a ghost, but he does have a really dreamy mustache.
