Last year lotus made the largest financial loss of any F1 team in the history of the sport :yikes:
That...... and the fact that Kimi is making Red Bull noises ....
.......and Grosjean keeps crashing......
.......and they've lost their technical director,
makes for a worrying time for them I'd say.

Probably because they had to rebuild the car in 80% of the races.

I think something to do with loss of sponsors.

Think about it, Lotus have Total and Clear as sponsors also regonn,a and genii, and trina solar.
Mclaren have vodaphone, tooned, lucozade, mobil 1, boss
Ferrari had shell caspersky, acer, santander, puma
They have more sponsors.
Sponsor revenue was low and wages were higher for the new drivers.

Ferrari have UPS, it's not the number of sponsors, it's the size.

Not really. One of their drivers is a serious title contender and their car is still competitive.

That's right, they are still doing way better than say, McLaren.

Investment? They might be able to get it back this year no? They are doing pretty well.

The solution is simple. Ditch Grosjean and get a decent driver who can go a race weekend without writing off a chassis and they''ll be made in the shade!
