I'm not fishing. I have never liked how this team has latched onto the Lotus names and believe that some things should be left alone once they are gone. Much like if Ferrari went down the tubes and 15 years later someone started up a new team and bought the rights to the name and used it. Just isn't right.

if they own the name they own the name and can call it the name.

I know and I support the team (thought they'd get their first points today) but I think somethings are sacred considering the achievements of Lotus.

Either way, it looks like they may be called Caterham next year.

I think the whole "Lotus" name thing was a bargaining chip with the Malaysian goverment who own Proton/Lotus
