Lotus E22 Renault

A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.

They actually were hoping for that in the Lotus garage yesterday :P.

Yep, that was the moment I was referring to. A driver does have a fire extinguisher in the car. The fact he never bothered to use it says everything. He didn't even look back at the car.

The team does seem to have issues with fires. We all remember the 2011 car, how that thing spit next to fire also pieces of the engine out of the exhaust.

IMO this is an E22 monocoque and a 2014 V6 oil tank. The V8 oil tank is very different.. different width, different shape etc.

The 2014 one looks very fat..
