F1: Lotus: GP2 team a boost for F1 squad

Lotus: GP2 team a boost for F1 squad By Jonathan Noble and Pablo Elizalde Monday, October 18th 2010, 10:37 GMT Lotus Racing's technical chief Mike Gascoyne says having a GP2 team link-up will be a huge benefit for the F1 squad next year, as it will mean a lot more data from Pirelli's tyres. The Air Asia team, owned by Lotus chief Tony Fernandes, will join the GP2 field from next year, and Gascoyne said their GP2 racers are likely to also act as reserves or third drivers for the F1 squad. Pirelli, who returns to grand prix racing as official supplier next season, is set to use the same rubber in Formula 1 and GP2. Related posts:
