-Max Verstappen

The Last Lap

Autosport Plus has a fascinating look at why the turbine Lotus experiment failed to realize its potential in F1. "Unique in F1 terms, it looks astonishing today and must have appeared like something from another planet when it was new. A remarkable feat of engineering, nevertheless in sporting terms it’s a mere footnote in the Lotus and F1 story – a car that started just three world championship grands prix, each with a different driver."
