    They are not really Lotus though, yes they have got the name and the paintjob but it is only for marketing reasons. Personally I hope both teams change their names because Lotus in F1 died a long time ago and teams should not be allowed to re-use great names in F1 just for marketing.

    The whole Lotus-Renault naming deal at the start of the year really annoyed me. I want Renault to go back to just being Renault. And Lotus can become Caterham. I wonder if they'll be changing liveries or will keep the green and gold?
