With the number of talented young drivers gunning for any seat in F1 right now, and veterans such as Heidfeld unable to find a competitive seat for next year, I find it hard to believe that one of the worst drivers of the year has actually managed to get himself a 2 year contract with Lotus Renault. Sure he is marketable, considering he is the only Russian driver ever to race in F1, but Lotus Renault are amongst the top few teams in F1, and I never would have thought that money would speak that loud.
