Lotus - 'Will be worth watching how it plays out, I wonder if he goes on the caveat he gets No.1 status (If Renault play that way)'

That would be interesting to know, my gut feeling is no they will be treated as equals it would be super hard on Hulkenberg to do that to him.

One thing I have not seen or read yet (and in fairness I have barely looked today) is that anyway you look at it this is huge kick of sand in Red Bulls face. All the talk the signing was imminent ( I know we hear that all the time) but to go to the team whose engines your current team has berated and demeaned oh my God what a slap in the face. It will be VEERY interesting to see how he is treated by RBR the rest of the season!!!!
