Testing is in 3 weeks, when are the cars getting unveiled? I would assume (given the rule changes) not until the last minute as nobody is gonna want to show their hand

Lotus not attending the first test they say as they don't want to show their hand. Could be just the car isn't ready yet.

Yeah wouldn't you just show up and sandbag as per red bull? If you did actually have something worth hiding.

[Rona]

You'd think so plus surely being there would enable you to gain intel on what others have/haven't done. Especially given a completely new drivetrain package and subsequently a very different car you'd think being there and running for as long as possible would be massively beneficial for the team & drivers. Far more then any secrets getting out anyway.

I took the Lotus thing to mean they failed the crash test, or didn't have the money to make a heavier chassis for the first test before making a lighter one for the second test.

Redbull have lost a couple more personnel too.

Anything can happen this season, given the changes to just about everything which will in effect rewrite the way races can be won and lost. It's going to be a busy and hectic season for the teams for sure. Looking forward to it.

Daniel Ricciardo @danielricciardo
Reason for #3 is it was my first ever number in karting and I was also a fan of Dale Earnhardt.



Someone just bagged a whole bunch of American fans haha

Read somewhere (cant find it again now) That Lotus is missing the first test that they havent paid Renault for last years engines. Loldonardo's sponsorship refuses to pay for last years bills, only for 2014 supplies. ... Lotus wont give engines to them until last years debts are settled
