IMHO I don't think that'll be the final livery....

It's gotta be a bit of Lotus F1 propoganda....

A Chapman quote could surely follow..." Give them.........

We will find out soon but I doubt they would test a car which looks too different from the final product. Sure hope they keep the green and yellow though ... perfect!!!

Lotus have launched there car.

www.lotusracing.my/
news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/8513511.stm

Would have preferred Black & Gold Livery :lol: but the classic BRG & Yellow still looks good.

Why its being referred to as "Lotus's historical F1 colours of gold and green" rather than Green & Yellow I dont know. Maybe I'm just being dense, can anybody enlighten me? :?

Because it sounds so much more high-class than calling it "Spinach and Mustard" :-)

Hopefully this will be one of the best years in F1 for a long time, i think the combination of drivers & cars should prove to be very competative. Will be very interesting to see who comes out on top between Hamilton & Button, & although i was delighted to see Jenson win last year, I don't think he will compete with Lewis, but we will see ?

Hamilton & Button appear to have very different driving styles. Surely it would be difficult to produce a car which is suited well to both?

you've got to remember that these boys only got to where they are today because of the involvment and commitment of there families, at what point do you say 'thanks for everything up to now dad, but'. now is probaly a good time for the family tie to be only slightly severed, it will be good to see the papa's still able to give the boy's support when they need it.
