Lotus in talks with Whitmarsh | Planet F1 | Formula One | News, Standings, Results, Features, Video PF1 has now picked this up. Would be good to have some cash up-front if he moves to Lotus!
I thought I read that they passed pretty early on - Late last year maybe? However, I did a quick search of the Autosport archives and can't find any reports now.... If they haven't passed yet, I can't see them making the grid at all. He'd be a damn good choice for them IMO. I know many here don't like him (I didn't when he was from Woking ) , but the guy is no fool. Whether he'd be interested in joining what seems to be a rapidly sinking ship is another question of course. Cheers, Ian
