Lotus is running a special 'Mad Max' livery during this weekend's Spanish Grand Prix after the Enstone-based team reached an agreement to promote the latest instalment of the series. The movie certainly got a lot of publicity when a strange incident saw Romain Grosjean's engine cover explode while the Frenchman was hurtling towards the first corner in FP2. "Mad Max: Fury Road" reads the film's full title. Quite fitting indeed.
