Brawn isnt either, whats your point? It's quite a substantial piece of CF, just because it works on one, doesnt mean it'll work on another, these are heavily optimised machines we're talking about. Besides that...
Mike said, this car has had little development time. Consider when this team was granted entry compared to the others, yet Lotus still has a car on track before USF1, Campos, and a few days after Virgin. Its been quite an achievement if you ask me! This car was never going to turn heads.
Like I said in my post Mike stated this car would not be upto the standard of others because of its limited development time, and said there would be a heavily revised version for Spain.
edit - locke, also take another look at the spyshot at the rear, looks like a crude sharfin type extension but not sure :p
