Lotus E22 Pre-launch Speculation

A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.

I just said that because of engine problems that Renault have. In other words, let's see if Renault kinda sort out their problems

lol, so they're gonna unvail at Jerez tomorrow, and have a free track to themselves for filming purposes?
i wonder if they feel confident enough now with the renault engine, toro rosso did make some runs, but
i doubt renault fixed things fast enough lotus will run on jerez with a huge gain versus what we saw renault
accomplishing before.......

then again, renault are in dire need of some positive attention now so perhaps they managed to do something
about the problems and fix their image a bit. however you take it, renault's image took a small dent.
There wont be any proper running seeing as they got special tyres and a limit on km of running.

Could be perspective, but the tusks look shorter then on the render.

Yeah i also try to find pic (you beat me)... http://i.imgur.com/47egl6Y.jpg They takes the same concept and just made some resetup or rearagements of namings. For example change in namings MIx-->Fuel etc. The most extensive changes seems to be are on cetral rotary, but sadly spy pic it is to blury to read all functions to compare with old one....
