Lotus / Renault exhaust set up, very interesting.

mclaren have had the same idea apparently

Mclaren released.

Standard exhaust though...



The Lotus sounds pure evil!

Heidfield will get the seat, no question about it.

Your probably right but god i hope not!

[Khare]

I hope not too, he's such a midfield runner and never takes any risks. Such a plain racer 

[Phil1980]

He is a better choice than Senna IMO.

How do you know? From 170 odd GP starts Heidfield has, he's never won a race, and he's been in competitive cars over the years.
Senna had to drive a clown car last year, so we've not seen his full potential in an F1 car. What F1 needs is the oldies to retire (it hurts to say it) but Trulli, Barrichello, Schumacher and Webber should retire.

We need more young daring drivers like Hamilton, Kobayashi and Alguersuari that take risks and push the car to the limits.

I don't know, hence the IMO. 

You obviously know everything there is to know about F1, or at least you like to think you do.

As renault keep pointing out , they want someone with experience who can develop the car. that'll be Heidfeld then.

Didn't Senna get blown away by replacements and team mates a few time last year? I doubt if he didn't pay for his seat at HRT and wasn't called Senna he'd not be in F1.

I've been following F1 since I remember. I used to tape every race on video, then watch it 3 or 4 times during the 2 week break.

I like to think I do know my way around F1 

And even though Senna did get beaten by his team mates, I know that in a decent car he can perform well.
