In the Formula One 2011 season there will be two teams with "Lotus" in the name - Lotus Renault GP and Team Lotus. However, one has a Renault engine, and the other has a Cosworth. There appears to be mass confusion already on the internet over the similarity of the team names, and it appears that a legal battle might not be far from ensuing between the two teams. Furthermore, there is talk that Team Lotus (who made their debut last year in the green and yellow colours) may change that paintjob to match that of the renamed Lotus Renault GP team (who, without the Lotus sponsorship, had a yellow and black colour scheme). The newly renamed team has decided to revert to a very familiar paint scheme and black and gold - paying tribute to the likes of Nigel Mansell and Aryton Senna:
Isn't that a thing of beauty? However, seeing four of these whiz 'round a circuit might be a bit of overkill. Time will tell. Robert Kubica still has no partner for next season after the departure of Vitali Petrov, but whoever gets an opportunity to drive in this piece of machinery is one lucky soul.
