This car looks awful. It’s like the ols cheap plastic boxed toy race cars one used to buy in toy stores many years ago. But then again its all about performance and time will tell…

I thot maybe they would go in another direction of livery colors but they stuck with the racing green and gold/yellow. Old school lotus : D cool. Looks good.

Malaysian F1 Team show how they commit themselves to stand tall with the rest of the world! With the Green British branding, it shows a comeback with enthusiasm by the different nations but they work as 1! Congrats 1MF1 Lotus Racing Team!Put a good challenge!

Of course some of the aerodynamics parts are a close copy of last years Force India. The lotus was designed in the same wind tunnel as the 2009 Force india by the same man (Mike Gascoyne). Yes, the original design belongs to Force India but no one can expect Gascoyne to forget all he knew from Force India and design a car from scatch in such a short time. Look closely at the Lotus and Force India front wings and you can see slight diferences which shows that it isn’t a complete rip off of the Force India design, Gascoyne knew that design worked and just designed the same thing again.

Same with the parts that look similar to previous Toyotas designed by Gascoyne, he knows how those shapes work and has reused them on the Lotus. As long as he doesn’t have a big book with technical designs of all his previous cars, there is no problem.

Remember Adrian Newey’s first Red Bull design looked just like a McLaren.
