During the past of Turkey of formula one Grand Prix, at the meeting of qualifications, Lotus Racing, and more specifically Heikki Kovalainen, he was only five tenths of Rubens Barrichello, classified in the Q1 seventeenth. Times speak and say that Lotus Racing is more and more away from their theoretical rivals (Hispania Racing F1 Team and Marussia Virgin Racing) and closer to the group which represents the middle of the grid (Toro Rosso, Williams F1 and Sauber).
If we discard the time of Barrichello, able to make a best time of 1.5 seconds in the Q2, we could now say that Lotus Racing is a second platoon. Exactly the time that they intend to improve during the Grand Prix Spain thanks to the important package of improvements that have been. This belief the Team technical director Mike Gascoyne in anglo-Malaysian.
The British announced that at the Circuit de Catalunya, the single-seater Lotus Racing will have a new blown diffuser, the first developed by the team. For this reason, they are cautious. While its goal is to get that second separating them from the squad, they are aware of that will need more time to draw any conclusions because of the complexity of the system.
But Gascoyne is also aware that the blown diffuser should be an incentive for them. If ever is closer to their rivals and they had it blown diffuser, now that they have, the distance should be reducirsese. The Grand Prize of Spain could be the first great moment of Lotus Racing.
