    the black sides of the nose down to the wings would really improve it! makes the car look really good.

    According to Sky Sports F1's Ted Kravitz, "It is a hydraulic and electrical installation problem - in other words, everything won't fit together.
    "Part of the problem is that to fix it, you have to take everything apart, then identify the problem, repair it and then put everything back together again. And such is the complexity of these cars, that's more or less a four-hour plumbing job each way."
    Button is scheduled to be in the car on Wednesday, with new team-mate Kevin Magnussen completing the final two days of the test.

    On the basis they went top on their first flying lap, that makes them the best car out there and going to dominate the season?

    That's how testing works, right?

    Very interesting. I would be surprised if his contract didn't have a 6 month gardening leave clause in it. If it did then I guess he left as Lotus had breached it's part of his contract or am I over thinking things? I wonder if he hadn't been paid as well as Kimi?
