1987

The first disappointments 



Finally the Honda motor and the active suspensions! Ayrton is convinced that this Lotus new, of an ignited yellow poor devil, the much most ugly one of the old John Player Special, it will give to the title it! It was not therefore. If the active suspensions will concur to obtain it wonderful successes
in the city circuits (Monaco and Jerez) from the other part they will
cause it remarkable disappointments because of their bad operation in
the normal tracings. The Honda motor of other part vibrates in dangerous way and has an
unforeseeable behavior. Senna to year-end decides to leave the Lotus that in order to please
had emptied it the cases. It did not succeed to repay the efforts of the English team, in fact place only finished to the championship to the third party. When Piquet the successive year lands to the Lotus finds a team
demotivato which, lascerà the F1 in 1994. Just the year in which Ayrton died.
