TEAM LOTUS has lifted the wraps from its 2011 racer, the T128 Formula 1 car, and the model is clearly a more aggressive replacement for the car which struggled for pace last season, writes Jim McGill.
The team, understandably, hopes the T128 will catapult it into the midfield and points contention and though it will not be seen in the metal until Wednesday’s second day of the test at Valencia, the new car is more in line with modern F1 practice, and features Renault V8 power and transmission systems from Red Bull.
