[Andyk]

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss..................................Kimi and Lotus win....What a race...As some of you know I've been waiting for a Lotus win since they came back to F1.......Great win and great race...On the edge of my seat all the way...

 

[Parisien]

RENAULT - Lotus ....Andy really........but great win!!

[Andyk]

No longer Renaut Lotus...Just Lotus these days Frank...The Renault was dropped over a year ago.........May be back though with the state of Lotus these days....

 

[Parisien]

...oh....but the engine etc...still Renault surely?

[NickP]

Was a great race, been a great season, wish Mclaren had done better.

 

[Andyk]

...oh....but the engine etc...still Renault surely?


P

Yep, still Renault engines but then Lotus don't make their own engines...........Most F1 teams buy them in as well.......

 

[Parisien]

Am sticking with my RENAULT - Lotus version of the name then....

[Andyk]

Even back in thye day they never had Lotus engines Frank.......Apart from Ferrari, Mclaren I believe all the rest are bought in engines........

Cosworth used to be a pretty big player in the F1 circus , what happened did they fall foul of BE somehow



regards loz

 

[Andyk]

Think they still supply two teams at the back of the grid Loz......I see Cosworth is up for sale at the moment as well.

Fantastic race, Kimi's radio conversations were just classic Kimi, so good to have him back, and a comeback that puts Schumacher to shame. He's taken a car equally limited and driven the @rse out of it all season.

I find myself surprised to say that I'm totally rooting for Alonso. He too has driven his Ferrari well beyond it's capabilities, he's a completely reformed character and seems really fired up for the last two races.

 

[Andyk]

Kimi was typical Kimi when Dave interviewed....Just doesn't give a sh!t about what he says....Great stuff.....

 

[Dan!]

Really pleased with result today.

Don't give a monkey's that strictly speaking Lotus is merely a sponsor - the team was originally Toleman Racing, before it was Benetton, before it was Renault and became Lotus, so what's In a name... Not only that, but the Lotus that last won 25 years ago with Senna at the wheel was powered by Renault too.

Great drive by Vettel too, shame he tried to win the swearing game on the podium.

What a race, so much action on the track with some questionable driving decisions from Webber amongst others. Vettel was amazing, Alonso must have felt odd standing next to him on the podium. Kimis comments were funny - 'leave me alone, I know what I am doing' was just brilliant. Vettels F word on the podium was a bit out the blue, Coulthard immediately tried to play it down by reminding the crowd English was Vettels second language. There was no mistake, he new exactly what he was saying. He then went on to look like a bit of a dick messing with Coulthard while he interviewed Kimi again, all in all a great race with some funny moments.

 

[Andyk]

Must have missed the F word bit....Kimi said sh!t...
