To answer the question though, I agree with Kobayashi being the best of the new drivers and Lotus being the best new team (although I disagree with the HRT car being ugly).

Sorry I should have explained it a little better. I mean’t as in handling wise. The Lotus looks really good through the corners especially when you see the onboard footage of the car, it just looks at home. Where as the HRT car looks so ragged & awkward, the drivers seem to be fighting with it even on the slow corners, I’ll feel sorry for the drivers when Spa is next, especially on eau rouge.

Its quite a good looking car though, the HRT. Looks quite evil & menacing. As of looks, the Lotus is my favourite looking, can’t wait until theres a model of it released.

If Kobayashi goes the way he’s going now, providing he gets the right support, management, teams etc then he’s someone to watch out for, this chap definitely has something going for him, he’s a racing driver through & through and if I owned one of the top teams, Red Bull, Ferrari, Mclaren & all, I’d be keeping an eye on him for a seat.
