Most of the red is due to Total I guess, as they have the requirement to have red accompanied with their logo.


and that's explains why Grosjean is still with them. improvement or burn

From the marketing point of view, Lotus got crap sponsor names on the car. This is crap level and very childish!! They need a paying driver.

Interesting that there's a big red space with 'Kimi' on it (presumably 'Romain' on the #8). Waiting for Honeywell?

At first glance i thought it said Himi :? I think it's dissapointing to see last years car with a worse sponsor colour scheme.

Sorry Phil but a blank sheet of paper or a white screen looks better.

Well, that's a big "Meh" to the start of the launch season. That said, with so few rules changes I doubt we'll see many surprises.

I like the livery, I also think its hard to judge properly until I have seen it going round a track a few times to let it sink in in its proper environment. But based on the pictures it looks good. I didn't realise they had picked up Valsecchi, good for him.
The suits however, look a bit silly. But once they're in the cars that doesn't matter.

Ridiculous from them to do this computer one without the step, which unfortunately will be in the actual car:

It just get's more blatant how the step kills the look of what already is a quite bad looking car with such a lame livery

It is not bad. Who is the sponsor on the top of the airbox? What they do?

I actually thought the Lotus was one of nicest looking cars of 2012. The nose profile and step was one of the best designs on the grid.

All the red parts are probably placeholders while they finalize the Honeywell sponsorship. Well all apart from the Total on the rear wing.

It honestly doesn't look that bad.

I mean, it does suck big fucking time given that it's Lotus, that they just had the best livery ever and ruined it. But apart from that, if it were a new team or any other team, it would look quite fine really.

Loving the Lotus E21. Driver overalls are not as good as last year (OMP beats AlpineStars, imo)

Susie Wolff will be the 1st driver to drive the new Williams. She will also be doing a majority of the aero test's & more simulator work.


Also seems we may see HD OnBoard's this year.

The previous Lotus livery was the best ever, really? I remember about as much bitching when it came out as there is for this launch.

At worst, this is "meh", but in reality it's not too bad ... it's not an all-time classic, but what were we expecting?

Even if a slight disappointment, it'll still look better than the Sauber, Force India, either Red Bull team, Caterham and Marussia, probably Ferrari and Williams and McLaren too ...
