Comments on: Is It Time For KV To Scale Back? http://oilpressure.wordpress.com/2010/09/01/is-it-time-for-kv-to-scale-back/ Speed is Life Sun, 26 May 2013 07:52:32 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: marcostraz http://oilpressure.wordpress.com/2010/09/01/is-it-time-for-kv-to-scale-back/#comment-5136 Sun, 05 Sep 2010 11:45:52 +0000 https://oilpressure.wordpress.com/2010/09/01/is-it-time-for-kv-to-scale-back/#comment-5136 My assumptions:

1) Bruno Senna; Lotus plus Senna in F1 in ’80s, Lotus plus Senna in IndyCar in 2011…great marketing operation, in my opinion;

2) Lotus is english, great tradition with scottish driver…maybe Dario in 2011 or 2012?

Two cars. Two British drivers (to make Lotus happy – let’s face it, Taku is there on Honda money, not Lotus money). Two much, much better shots at victory – one will always be there on the ovals, the other will always be there on the road courses.

Both drivers in contract years too, I think. (Or does Wilson’s expire in 2011?)

In addition to Iowa (where he finished third on own merits), he was in the front pack at St. Pete until a mechanical problem made him stop in the pits.

It has been really sad to watch this team fall apart. There is an old saying: “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” KVRT is broke, somewhat literally and figuratively speaking. If I were in Kevin Kalkhoven and Jimmy Vasser’s positons-which I’m not-I would probably dump either all three drivers or bring in someone like Simona De Silvestro and/or Oriol Servia; a couple of drivers who can get the car to the finish and get some decent results. Of course, all of that depends on sponsorship, so we’ll just have to see what happens. But I wold be very suprised if Moraes, Sato and Viso are all there next season.
