Never been a fan of the long wheelbase, and the looks of that takes it to a whole new level

For some reason that top photo reminds me of one of the late 80s RIAL cars with no body work at the back. I get an old school feel about it. Then I look at the rest of the car and think, well if they have some kind of innovation I feel that just by looking at the car that it will be lost on aero. I don't know why (and yes I know I'm arm chair hack who knows nothing) but looking at that car I don't think it looks all that good aerodynamically. So my bold prediction....and will most likely get proven wrong...that the Merc will suck again.

The longer wheel base cars would look better if they had the wider track like they had from 93 to 97 and wider rear tires.

Yes, media outlets are permitted to use footage from testing up until March 5th.

Lotus withdraw from testing

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

Bouiller said that not running today was a 'minor problem'.

Wonder what his thoughts on missing the next 3 days are.

Lotus has withdrawn from the tests, they need to make modifications to both chassis. Any idea what the issue found on chassis 2 is?
