T127

Lotus-Cosworth

One of F1's most evocative names returns to the grid, and while the new team's claims to be carrying on in the tradition of Clark and Chapman might not extend much beyond the colour scheme, it's still a team worthy of respect.

Beneath one of the best liveries on the grid is a simple but well-conceived car. Drivers Jarno Trulli and Heikki Kovalainen know what they're doing, and there's plenty more experience working on the pitwall and in the garage.

Initial expectations might be modest, but the potential for growth is high.
