i'm dying to see him again winning a GP, but refusing to smile...!

Was never a fan to be honest...But he did make me laugh when he was interviewed on the grid walk and was asked did he go to the Michael Sch celebration...He said...'No I was taking a sh!t'....Martins face was a picture....

That was class Andy, remember it well, total to55er IMO though and the least deserving guy to win the championship.

I never warmed to him either, reasonably good driver IMO (by F1 standards), but zero personality...
Interesting to see what other announcements Lotus have in th pipeline, would be good to see them at the front.

Can someone explain to me what the heck is going on with Lotus in F1?

Renault will be Lotus next year, in spite of having nothing to do with Lotus, and Lotus will be Caterham?.... Mad, mad, mad.......

Oh and Kimi rocks.....I look forward to hearing him in interviews and seeing him come fourth from last on a regular basis.

Lotus (the black ones) will use the Lotus name and the team will be Lotus GP so no longer have the Renault name...Having Honda would explain that....Never new that Miles......

Lotus Racing (the green ones) will be Caterham and no longer Lotus...The owner of the team wanted to buy a car company and thought a way in would be to have an F1 team....When the 2nd Lotus team came on board it was clear that that would not happen and the 2nd Lotus team went to court to stop them using the Lotus name.....The court said basically they could both use the Lotus name....

In the mean time the Green Lotus owner had made an offer for Caterham cars as he had no chance of Lotus...bought the company and will now rename his F1 team Caterham after the car company he now owns.....

Does that make sense Miles...?...

Kimi has (had?) enormous talent and was never a PR-boy. Sometimes he would switch off during races but that was half the fun. In terms of pure speed, probably the only one that can whip Hamilton.

Sorry Andy, I confused myself! I meant Renault and not Honda, but thanks for the explanation.
