http://www.lotusf1team.com/news-archive/moving-on-up/How much were you able to do for Monaco with the two tracks being so different?
You can prepare in the sense of finding a general performance improvement, such as more downforce. But in terms of a really detailed set-up, we know we’ll have to change that for Monaco.
What developments are in the pipeline for the E22?
There’s quite a lot for Monaco, including the usual ‘one-off’ aerodynamic package for maximum downforce, which will not be used at other circuits because it is quite ‘draggy’. There will also be a small modification to the cooling system and there are other aerodynamic developments aimed at making the car more stable.
Do you think Monaco will suit the E22?
Yes I think it will. Monaco is a bit of a strange place - a one off - so it’s always dangerous to assume your car will be good there. But I think it will suit the E22 and we should go fairly well. We’ll also be bringing some specific parts aimed at giving us more downforce at what is the highest downforce track of the year. Other new parts will help tune the car for the bumpy and low speed track characteristics. The parts we’ve tested so far look good and we’ll also have a new fuel from Total which should further improve power and driveability.
