No one can whistle a symphony; it takes an orchestra to play it. Team Lotus comprises more than 60 great people. Though most of the time, all we see are the drivers, there is a big dedicated team that committed to continuous success of both the cars. Here, let me get you some interesting photos of the hard work that has been going on behind the scenes. Hope you'll enjoy them.

Yas Marina Circuit is unique. It is the only circuit in the world where a 500 bedroom, 5-star hotel actually straddles the track. The Yas Hotel guests will have access to the Paddock via a purpose-built footbridge and their own entrance to the circuit.

Though drivers get most of the attention, but Formula One racing remains a team sport. The precisely timed pit stop practices are vital to help teams to turn their race strategy into success. One of the most visible things that being done during pit stop is the changing of tyres - even that happens in 4 seconds flat. And lucky enough, I was given a chance to partcipate in pit stop practice with rest of the Team Lotus guys before the qualifying begins. And that's me in the second photo changing the front right tyre of Heikki's car.
I have a couple of Yas Marina series coming up for the next few weeks. You might have seen some of the earlier posts illustrating my Formula1 Experience at Abu Dhabi. Now, here's a few more captures on how AirAsia made their presence with their striking Red and stunning beauties. You can never miss them!
Never in my life I have ever thought I'll be taking an evening walk on a Formula 1 pit lane. The below snaps were captured as I walked along the Yas Marina Pit Lane. Part of the pit lane exit runs underneath the track and a walk along this lane will allow you to see all the teams preparing their cars in the garages for the race. You will never get closer to Formula 1 than this!
