Re: Lotus Drivers in Person

Kimi is rude with the media and fans? So what?
Lewis is always nice with them and what good does it do for him? People bash him anyway

Re: Official race thread for Australia

Lewis was a bit unlucky on both his pit stops also a bit of cheekiness from the RB pit crew to make his get away a little awkward just before the safety car. It's good to see that he's wiling to bank the points rather than take a dive which could end in a loss of places/DNF . I'm sure he'll be enco...
