The Lotus E20 and E21 were great F1 cars IMO. Like cars that in the hands of Alonso or Hamilton would have won and won. They were very quick over a single lap, very kind on tyres and very reliable, seeing both Kimi and Grosjean getting regular podiums you've gotta suspect they would have done much better in the hands of someone like Hamilton. No disrespect to either of those two though.
Makes it all the more baffling that the E22 was so rancid. Yes the Renault engine stank the place out, but it won three races in the Red Bull. I do suspect that the 2014 Red Bull was probably an even better car than the Mercedes, but still. Enstone are usually pretty reliable but the 2014 car sucked on every level.
