|
09 March 2010 @ 12:20 GMT - Roger Loop The new Lotus team have signed two experienced drivers for the 2010 F1 season and it has been a huge boost for the team. The outfit's technical director Mike Gascoyne says it helped them a lot in their preparations for the new season. The team has signed form Toyota driver Jarno Trulli and former McLaren driver Heikki Kovalainen. "Massively - because it means you are straight on the pace. Jarno got in the car and within four or five laps he said, 'I understand this is the problem - it's this, we need to solve that'," Gascoyne said. He said the drivers have given the team a clear direction of how to solve the problems quickly. "You then do some things and he says, 'yes, this is better, we now have a clear direction.' So it is clear straight away that he can pick it up," he said. |
