Datuk Jarno Trulli - Lotus-Cosworth
Practice: 19th / 18th / 20th
Total practice laps: 71
Qualifying: 18th
Pit stop laps: 15 24
Result: 17th
Summary: Trulli missed out on a Q2 spot by a tiny 0.009s and started 18th. He was pushed to the back when Glock’s passing move went wrong on lap three, but got back up to second in the ‘new teams’ class behind di Grassi. Hydraulic problems developed in the closing laps, but he managed to nurse (macam kerja jururawat) the car to the finish in last place.
Datuk Heikki Kovalainen - Lotus-Cosworth
Practice: - / 19th / 21st
Total practice laps: 50
Qualifying: 17th / 15th
Pit stop laps: 11 (puncture), 17 (hydraulic repairs)
Result: not classified (hydraulics)
Summary: Kovalainen thrilled his team on its owner’s home ground by qualifying 15th, as the new Lotus operation reached Q2 for the first time. He didn’t stay that high up for long in the race, losing several positions at the start and then picking up a puncture when a bold move on di Grassi went wrong. Hydraulic problems then further delayed him, and he was eventually too far behind to be classified as a finisher.
Tapi semasa wartawan NTV7 menemubual Riad Asmat dan Fairuz Fauzzy, mereka menyatakan bahawa Lotus F1 berjaya mencapai sasaran dengan menamatkan perlumbaan. Mana yang betul? Atau cuma cakap-cakap macam orang politik?
Kalau setakat menamatkan perlumbaan 5 dan 10 pusingan di belakang, kereta antik saya berusia 29 tahun pun boleh “menamatkan perlumbaan” di Litar Sepang tanpa perlu keluar masuk ‘workshop’ macam kereta Lotus.
Dalam perlumbaan pertama di Bahrain, pasukan Lotus F1 senyum sampai ke telinga kerana kereta mereka tidak menghadapi masalah. Jangkaan ‘reliability’ berpanjangan tersentap di dua perlumbaan berikutnya.
Apa pun alasannya, selagi Mike Gascoyne menjadi teraju teknikal, Jarno Trulli, Heiki Kovalainen dan Fairuz Fauzy sebagai pemandu, pasukan Lotus F1 akan terus dibayangi Lotus ‘original’ era lampau.
