Did Bahar find some extra cash in the attic? Or did they give Caterham the Elise plans?

You can't have a name and not monetise it.


That is the key quote. Tony may have had the right to use Team Lotus in F1, but he couldn't use it in conjunction with anything else, which means that its value is limited.

So it's better for him to sell the name (probably for far more than he bought it for from David Hunt), and to use one of his other brands, for now.

Group Lotus cannot rename Renault to Lotus until the end of 2012, otherwise they'll lose TV money. So there will be no Lotus on the grid next year.

I still believe this is going to play out like the end of the film Dodgeball.

To be honest, any team claiming to be Lotus is just making a mockery. Far better for Fernandes to have 'Caterham F1' or something so that a new manufacturer gets records etc

In other news, rumours are circulating that Sam Michaels is cropping up at McLaren tomorrow

Nope, he's heading to Brackley. Dream team is being recreated there :p

I obviously meant Mercedes, I just had a brain fart.

Whoops, there go the world championships for the forseeable future.

Unless he's just making the tea.

If Fernandes knew Team Lotus wasn't a great money spinner, why did he even bother in the first place?

Because it was up until the court case. The judge there deemed that he could only use it in F1.

Well I guess we can all thank Dany Bahar for creating a fine mess.

Does this mean the "Ralf is a closet gay" rumours will start milling around again?

His tea must've been really good, because he's now the Sporting Director.

Well that's a relief. Hopefully he'll not be involved in any element of the McLaren's future designs.
