  • Quite unexpected, and I must admit a yellow car would be more handsome. But its definitely not ugly, very cool with yellow and black like this. But will miss the Lotus colours. They have a very stable driver lineup, but I doubt we'll see much of them this year. Neither engine nor car seem to be making much progress according to Ilmor and Abiteboul.
