Keep stalling Renault, keep stalling. Unless you have a design already up and running you're shooting yourself in the foot by waiting this long.

How about blaming the surrealistic people at Lotus and Genii? They probably think they have the high ground in the negotiations, which is obviously a fantasy.

I hope the investors will loose a crap load of money. This whole Lotus saga was always a sham from the get go.

who says I'm not blaming them?
But Renault should either buy them or piss off already.
This whole ordeal isnt only stalling the 2016 development but who of the current staff would want to stay on if this drags out much longer?

Don't remember a thing what happened last year. Only that Bottas almost got pole. And there was GP2 or GP3 pileup at the start.
I belief that GP3 race was the best motorsport race I've ever seen, with that last lap.

Don't worry, they are. They are taking a significant haircut in order to sell up now - they have no money left to pay for things themselves. Important things like catering, payroll, tax...

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

Start of FP1 has been delayed by 30 minutes due to a diesel spillage at turn 8.

As at Suzuka no shots from inside the garages as of yet on world-feed or pits channel so seems like that dispute Bernie is having with the teams over the display of sponsors in the garages is still going on.

Sadly, race control car going with tyres screeching will be the highlight moment of the weekend.

This is the kind of shit that back in the day Bernie would have booted the track from the calendar.
