Just good to see Pedro getting straight in to get a knowledge of the car.

I cant believe we are only 1 week away from the launches.

indeed!

It is a worry, not sure whether its because they are behind the game and need extra time, or they feel an extra couple of weeks could lead them to be bullet proof.

I hope not,
their 2012 car was fundamentally very strong, and a consistent top 10 finisher. I'd say, car wise, they were right there with renault, so their development should only be tweaks here and there and not a radical redesign.

It is also being shown on Lotus Youtube Channel I believe and maybe via their Website.

I have put this here and in the BBC/Sky thread. I no some dont have access, but just for info, Sky F1 will begins its new season programming over the next week. Featuring an Interview with Lewis Hamilton, Launches covereded and reporting from the Pre Season Tests. Although not as I had hoped.

I hoped as cameras tend to be there anyway, Sky F1 might just give us that feed. Oh well

Thanks for flagging this up. I would like to see the tests fully televised too but this is certainly progress.

Streamed a bit of the Lotus launch through youtube on my mobile and liked the livery but apart from that I couldn't see much change from last years car, if there is much. I couldn't listen to much of it due to some annoying presenter who sounded like he should have been presenting a Celtic match. Nothing against the Scottish accent, but he didn't sound like it was his usual gig. They could have got somebody loosely related to F1 surely?
