Lotus likely to be ‘parked’ again

IndyCar officials have confirmed that the Lotus-powered HVM car of Simona de Silvestro is likely to be black-flagged again early in this weekend's race at Texas. De Silvestro and Fan Force United's Indianapolis-only entry for Jean Alesi were both pulled from the track just a few laps into last month's Indy 500 due to concerns that the power deficit between the Lotus engines and their Chevrolet and Honda counterparts was excessive and could pose a safety risk. The Lotus entries were as much as 17mph off the pace at Indy, which put them outside the 105 per cent cut-off.
