Andre Lotterer in F1

Ooops. Endurance driver lasted only one lap in The Belgian Grand Prix before his Caterham went dead. Shame there was no mention of his Le Mans palmares on the Beeb coverage of the race.

Yes they did, they commented he has won Le Mans 3 times........

I must have missed it then.

Apparently he out qualified his team-mate by a whole second. I wonder if Caterham will let him have another go.

He did say that the Audi carries more speed through the corners, which isn't a great surprise from a full bodied car I guess.

...or does it say how poor the Caterham F1 car is?

He was saying that the F1 has more power than the R18 but that the Michelin boots on the R18 are better than the Pirellis on the Caterham so they can commit more to the corners in the R18. He also mentioned that his instinct when getting out of the car was to loosen the belts before unbuckling.
