Lotus Renault x 2?

Justin: My colleague is back....and so is Kimi...somewhere...apparently....anyway....that over with, it's time to get back to business.

Over the 3 days of testing Vettel, Alonso and Kubica posted the fastest times each day. Kubica went fastest of all. The new Lotus Renault has the exhausts at the side of the car, a radical design which may see this team quite competitive......unfortunately they won't be that much up front because they have lost their star driver for possibly the whole season.

Kubica's life is not in danger, but he has serious injuries after crashing in a rally over the weekend. He has several fractures in his arm, shoulder, hand and leg as well as partially severing his right hand. Surgery has gone well and he can apparently move his fingers and the hand is warm (always a good start!), but I'd imagine the recovery will take months.

We could see the Senna name back on the grid as a result of this!

On the subject of Lotus, I thought it was Lotus Renault and Team Lotus....as Team Lotus dont have Renault engines do they??

Anyway...our best wishes to Robert for a quick recovery.
