Some interesting Lotus F1 tidbits
Found this article today some funny/interesting quote from Sir Stirling about his days with Lotus
Sir Stirling: Lotus return 'good news' - Planet-F1 News - from planet-f1.com "Colin Chapman was a brilliant engineer but he built the cars a bit too close to the mark. Things like the wheelshafts were not strong enough. The car was not as nice to drive as a Cooper for instance...." HA!! Also, did some wikipedia on Mike Gascoyne, interesting career this guy, apparently he's a right as*hole! After the 2008 Monaco Grand Prix, Gascoyne lodged a protest against Kimi Räikkönen after Räikkönen had lost control of his car and crashed into the suspension of Force India's Adrian Sutil, forcing Sutil to retire with 7 laps left of the team's first potential point-scoring position (4th)....On November 7 2008 it was announced that Gascoyne would no longer play any formal role at the team...." HA! But he can produce some quick chassis it looks like....so that's good...but what about that Cosworth...it's going to suck no?
