Lotus Racing:
Engine: 3rd
Gearbox: 7th
Brakes: 6th
Front Wing: 6th
Suspension: 7th
Rear Wing: 1st
Overall: 5th

That rear wing is a beauty. A little bit of work here, a little bit of weight reduction here, a little bit of drag reduction there... and we have the best rear wing in the paddock. Sweet. We are currently working to get some additional performance out of the highly illegal suspension we built, right now it is pretty much equal to our best part that is on Vidal's car. And that is it for development for 2017.

Sponsors:

Fixed Payment Sponsors:
La Paz Telecom(2/4) $750k upfront
Broadlake Clothing(6/15) $1M upfront, $650k per race
Max Velocity(8/10) $1M upfront, $800k per race

Race Bonus Sponsors:
El Banco(7/7) $3M upfront, $1M bonus pool for 3rd or above
Viking(4/4) $2M upfront, $1.4M bonus pool for 1st
Football Manager(4/4) $1M upfront, $600k bonus pool for 7th or above

On the financial side, we are $26.9M in the green, which means we should be able to get the same suppliers again for 2018 and take a look at a new building for our HQ maybe...

The Track:
The final round, and the shootout for two World Championshi Trophies, will be hold in Dubai once again, the UAE Grand Prix. Located in a incredible expansive dream track, top speed, brakes and the rear wing(!) are crucial here, and concentration for drivers. Last year, numerous drivers went off the track and dug themselves a hole in the sand, and that could be a killer for any Championship bid.

Rumors, Rumors, Rumors
According to rumors, there has been some tension between Iker Vidal, team boss Dan Martinson, and his race engineer Stuart Yarnham, and most of those were aimed at the Spainard. He has been rather vocal about his role in this team and Championship and seems to think he is the center of the universe these days...

Trying to defend fourth in the WDC, Windsor's Aki Lipponen used the break between races to take part in a meditation class and seems to use that to focus his thoughts before sessions. Whatever works.

"Little steps," said Van Dort team principal Eva Nesterova about their new gearbox. "We have to get ready for 2018 after losing in the Constructor's." The gearbox is regarded as the fifth best on the grid.

Only a small performance boost, but a performance boost as Dieter Wexler's red rocket will have a new nose, aka a new front wing for Dubai. Rossini changed a lot of things on the front wind endplate.

What they should've built... a rear wing maybe as they fell behind Windsor in rear downforce. Pat Russell and his crew found a more clever solution for the DRS system on the rear wing.
