From 3 years out of the sport they've done damn well to produce an F1 engine that can acheive P4/5/6's in a midfield team.
They'll get there eventually.
Indeed. The blow up seemed to occur as a direct result of Kovy spinning and then ragging the engine to spin turn. It's also more than likely done three GP's by now.Quote:

I was right? First time for everything I guess.Quote:

I don't doubt they aren't the best in either performance* or reliability stakes, but they are doing well all things considered I think.
*Not that it means much with the freezing and equalisation we're still not free from :mad:
That's been discussed here. Lotus, for example, has had terrible problems with the drivetrain all year and in addition it's heavy. That's one of the main reasons they've decided to change to Renault, who gives them the whole packace instead of just an engine. Cossie is propably quite ok.Quote:
