“What does a Norfolk F3 team have to do with one of the biggest names in F1 history?” you ask. They were an F3 team from Norfolk in the UK of all places that went and put a bid for a place in F1 when the 2010 expansion was announced, and they managed to do it under the Team Lotus name. That gave us many gems like Marussia and HRT, which we might cover in the future pretending we remember them, but there was also another team that wanted a piece of the pie, Litespeed, and this is where the story begins…ĭon’t know who Litespeed were? Don’t worry you and the rest of the world doesn’t know so don’t feel alone. It was also the year that the FIA announced that they wanted new F1 teams to join for 2010 in an effort to open up the paddock. In the world of F1 that meant that Brawn GP and Jenson Button were about to pull a one off wonder winning both titles and that many changes were going to take place as far as regulations were concerned. So, Obama is in his first year as President, the iPhone 3GS was a hot item and Greece’s economy was about to blow up like the Hindenburg, or in other words, it’s 2009. Literally no one has made anything on YouTube or anywhere in general, so after my own research here’s what really happened back then.
Great I shall write about that, buuut there was a problem. It hit me that once upon a time almost ten years ago we had two Lotus teams.
Then out of sheer boredom and with nothing to write I decided to play a bit of Forza 5, because if you can’t enjoy old racing games what are you doing as a car fan? Soon enough I stumbled upon a Lotus F1 car from 2015, and suddenly I got hit with an idea as great as the story I’m about to tell. I was going to write about the fact that Racing Point is basically using a pink Mercedes for 2020 (well… not exactly using cause the Coronavirus has different plans but anyway), but then I remembered that this doesn’t even qualify as a controversy cause part sharing is part of the rules, so I’ll maybe touch on it a different time.
