Diffey's an Aussie, but point still stands.

I meant Hobbs, Matchett and Buxton. And Diffey might actually be awesome.

So did anybody else notice that Ralf appears to have not come to his brothers final race? I haven't seen him in any pictures nor did I hear him mentioned during the weekend.

Cool 360 image of the SPEED F1 wrap party, taken by Will Buxton.

Varsha looks so somber it's almost heartbreaking.

Lotus
Mika Häkkinen (original version of team)
Mika Salo (original version of team)
JJ Lehto (Benetton became Renault which became the current Lotus)
Heikki Kovalainen ("Green Lotus" aka/nka Caterham)
Kimi Räikkönen (currently)
Nico Rosberg (drove for ART GP in GP2, team is now Lotus GP & is the GP2/3 team for the Lotus F1 team)
Valtteri Bottas (ART/Lotus in F3 & GP3)

Keke Rosberg is the only Finish driver (well, well known driver) that I can not connect to driving for any version of Lotus, however he did manage Nico in GP2. Also while Nico in the FIA goes as German, that is because the FIA goes by Passports, he is a duel citizen of Finland & Germany and has raced as Finish when he was younger.

F1 on NBC Broadcast team with the "Mystery Pit Reporter" behind the menu.

I'll just leave this here and see if anybody can spot what I spot.

Well Other then the asian style font, and prices. For all I know there at a brothel some were in Asia. Other then his head is shaped like a 24oz beer mug. With Dumbo sized ears. I say he could be Richard Hammonds long lost son. Richard has the same look.

Or its Will Buxton and he's wearing the same watch....

Well I know who that is. I knew he would be part of the team last month.

 

[Fisha695]

Oh the irony, your 2012 Champion of Champions.....

 

[MillsLayne]

^Oh Grosjean, you crazy Frenchie...

The guy IS good, but he just has to learn some patience and discipline.

 

[Chevellion]

It's a lot harder to wreck half the field when only one other driver is on the track.

 

[Frigus5]

The irony is strong with that outcome.

And now Grosjean is back with Lotus- dude has speed, and had an excellent early season, another year will only help him calm down and use the potential he showed at the ROC

Good, I'm glad. The guy is way too fast to not give him another chance.

The artwork of the yearly Bernie Ecclestone Christmas card that he sends out to the teams/media/whoever-else gets it.

 

[tipptruck]

Wow thats like calling the kettle black. How many times has he done that with tracks.

 

[Carl Robinson]

A shot of Lotus's new car. Its honestly fantastic. I still hate the nose of it but the livery is incredible for being so basic. It really does the car justice.

 

[Chevellion]

A better shot...

 

[MillsLayne]

It looks okay, but the red takes away from the classic John Player Special look that they've had the past couple of years.
