The Lotus 72 made its debut in 1970 and won 5 races, with Emmo winning the US GP. However the next year, it's best finish was just second place. Lotus turned the 72 around in '72 but was that due to Emmo, or Tony Rudd redesigning the rear of the car? Also, when Peterson rejoined Lotus in late 1977 he initially tested the Lotus 78. If he were next to hopeless on set up, he wouldn't have been, as quick as he was and he was very quick.
