Great to see Karun in a race seat,hope he doesn't have so much problems with the car like in Free Practices.

This would be a sponsor forced decision right? I wouldn't see any other reason to why they'd replace Trulli for just one race.

I don't think they have an indian sponsor. Probably some milialge before the Indian GP, so he won't look completely stupid driving the seriously car for the first time.

Jarno is intelligent enough to know that a major part of the reason that he is at Lotus is car development.

As long as he is having these problems with power steering, he is useless in that regard.

So he is sitting this weekend out and will return for Hungary with updated power steering.

According to today's Autosport magazine, Fernandez had a frank discussion with Jarno after the British GP about his ongoing power steering issues.

Massive controversy in Germany. 10 teams in contravention of FIA regulations. So far only Lotus and HRT are legal (I think). No joke.

This could be interesting

is he talking about blown diffuses again?

Shaddix · PostPosted: Thu Jul 21, 2011 8:17 pm

ok according to Virgin Racing it has something to do with the overalls...

God bless the FIA.

The issue, incredibly, is driver overalls. FIA compliance must be stitched to collars. Screen prints are thus illegal.

Surely they aren't going to be DQ'ing any teams for something like this?

So Chandhok will win his first race for Lotus wooo!

Shaddix · PostPosted: Thu Jul 21, 2011 8:22 pm

so why is this suddenly an issue?
and why do the small teams have the good overalls?

this doesn't make sense at all

Gaara · PostPosted: Thu Jul 21, 2011 8:22 pm

And there we were thinking it was something important...

Because they're too poor to afford the 'illegal' ones.

Just awesome. Love the way the FIA always manages to inject some comedy into every series they run.

this deserves some yacketysax, too bad we can't put images on it

Will Buxton has to be trolling us all. Has to be.

if that's the case he's playing it nice with the help of Virgin Racing because they also confirmed it
