About time they came back.

A great name indeed but will it be a great team...

Gascoyne is no Chapman!

Who knows what will happen, F1 is all over the place right now in terms of team performance. It would be nice to see Lotus do well though.

I think Force India have proved that you can never really write anyone off at the moment - They've gone from nothing to being genuinely one of the top 3 quickest cars on the grid in the last couple of races and it's nice to see a "small" team make such big improvements...

I can't wait to see the Lotus cars though, imagine if they went for the Camel Colours in plain yellow with blue details again..... or JPS or even the Castrol / Loctite colours (also sponsored by Tamiya)!

That was my exact point Nick. An old skool paint job would really look the mutts.

I don’t want to piss on the bonfire, as a motorsport fan I love the idea of a proper hethel-based, or at least UK based Lotus F1 team. But this is just a group of investors putting together a team then jamming an iconic, unrelated, name on it for media purposes. Who do they think they’re kidding? I guess I’m still bitter about what Ford did with Jag, but really this should just be called Malaysia F1.

Virtual tenner says they don’t make the grid.

I'll take a virtual tenner mate.
