    Honeywell or Burn will be the title sponsor I think, Burn Lotus F1 Team sounds better IMO. <ok>

    Hopefully the extra money will put them up there even more this season.

    EDIT - On research actually the Honeywell deal looks like it will be the title sponsor.

    I am quite confident for Lotus this year. I can even see Grosjean getting a win. <ok>

    I'll be keeping a close eye on Romain at Turn 1 of the Aussie GP. <laugh>

    I can't help but think he is under huge pressure next season. Then we shall see the kind of driver he is.

    If he gets past turn 1 then I think he is quite a good driver. See Valencia for instance.

    I think he's a good driver but he still has that stigma to shake off, first couple of races are crucial for him.

    Rain and the 1st lap are Romain's biggest problems.

    The lotus car launch is 1 week before the first test but I bet a running car wont be ready till near the date.
