Lotus, the double DRS postponed to Suzuka

Lotus won't make its much-rumored double DRS race debut until at least next month's Suzuka race. The Enstone team hoped to use the system to improve top straight line speed at Spa, but Friday's free practice was affected by rain.

The Enstone team then made it known that it will not fit the system on the cars of Kimi Raikkonen and Jerome d'Ambrosio at Monza due to the low downforce configuration required by the Italian circuit.

“You won't see it in Singapore either,” said technical director James Allison, “because it's a circuit with too much downforce and not enough straights. At this point it's likely we'll see him at Suzuka."
