I think we'll see the new rear bodywork Alan was talking about tomorrow when the car will be in one piece, probably with the new front wing too.

I don't know if you noticed it, but that monkey seat is new; it's different from the monkey seat they ran with the DRD during winter testing...

Hmm...looks like a hinged flap. Switching mechanism for DRD maybe?

I think it's the Starter Motor Hole.

Kravitz : "Lotus learnt from their straight line test how to "trick" the DDRS and are more confident of it working"
Kravitz: "They intend to race it."

I just wish they would just chuck that damm thing, it´s been distracting them for too long now.

Hudge changes at the rear end. It looks like Lotus have two differen car in Silverstone- DRD spec and this.

It's disappointing. They just* modified the rear cooling outlet indeed. Looks similar to the Williams now.
*it is not easy work but I thought they'll modify the sidpods : P
I wonder how it will look with the DRD pipes bolted on. (if they keep the DRD)
