Can someone explain to me what the heck is going on with Lotus in F1?
Honda will be Lotus next year, in spite of having nothing to do with Lotus, and Lotus will be Caterham?.... Mad, mad, mad.......
Lotus (the black ones) will use the Lotus name and the team will be Lotus GP so no longer have the Renault name...Having Honda would explain that....Never new that Miles......
Lotus Racing (the green ones) will be Caterham and no longer Lotus...The owner of the team wanted to buy a car company and thought a way in would be to have an F1 team....When the 2nd Lotus team came on board it was clear that that would not happen and the 2nd Lotus team went to court to stop them using the Lotus name.....The court said basically they could both use the Lotus name....
In the mean time the Green Lotus owner had made an offer for Caterham cars as he had no chance of Lotus...bought the company and will now rename his F1 team Caterham after the car company he now owns.....
Does that make sense Miles...?...
