Backed by Lotus? I call BS on that bit of the story given that the Lotus effort for IndyCar was recently scaled back so much that it's now been renamed back to Judd.
I don't think he'll do well at the Indy 500. He should be given a LMP1 car and head to Le Mans 24h. I can see him in an Oreca-Peugeot 908, don't ask me why
Stats: 139 Starts / 7 Wins / 9 Poles / 5 Fastest laps
That was brilliant. Jean never was one for conformation, so he tried to get the jump by carrying more speed from the back, misjudged it horribly, and just thought "@#$%& it, I might as well keep my foot planted now".
