Car of the day was the Lotault (still can't call it a Lotus!). Another missed opportunity.

Surely qualifying hampers Lotus. Despite a lot of podiums already, Räikkönen hasn't qualified higher than 5th (4th on the grid in China after Hamilton's penalty) this season. If he could get to the front on Saturdays, he could win. Reminds a bit of 2008, when grid positions prevented Kimi from having a more successful season. But who knows, maybe he can win the WDC without a race win.
