I'm beginning to wonder if it's just a livery launch with last years model and the car itself will be seen for the first time on track next week.

I'm beginning to wonder if it's just a livery launch with last years model and the car itself will be seen for the first time on track next week.

I thought that too. The car looks A LOT like the E20. Granted, we don't typically see radical departures from established designs year to year, but this "E21" looks A LOT like the old car...

Its just the revised rear and livery change really. Most launches are.

The left bump is larger than the one on the right. I like it

[majidasadi]

the new car has the stepped nose which i like (unlike many others i am a fan of stepped nose!) but the colors...i hope they remove the reds,the classic black and gold is much more glamorous.

It's the last year car I think because I made some research and the only difference I notice is in the band board has the upper lip

Headline fail in The Times today. Kevin Eason had written an article about Lotus launching the car, but mostly about whether Lotus can hang on to Raikkonen for 2014. The headline writer obviously doesn't know much about F1 though, or didn't understand the article as the headline was 'Lotus Unveil New Car But Will Raikkonen Drive It?' Errr... yes.

Kimi's helmet

Spoiler:

Nice Helmet, but not as good as some in past years like 12, 07, 05, 03!

Did anyone found the 2013 Romain's helmet? i couldn't find a picture anywhere.

Romain's helmet

Spoiler:

[mikhailv]

Helmets are so dull and boring now.

Theres only Alonso, Vettel and Hamilton who's specials are exciting and have complete new designs.

[Treacle]

Helmets are so dull and boring now.

I just wanted to say the same. I don't really like either Kimi's or Romain's...

Kimi's seems really bland and samey. The best helmets are often the monaco specials, Love Alonso and Kimi's.

Helmet has a special meaning to Kimi: it protects his head
