I suspect that they will lose. I like Tony Fernandez's attitude but a lot of his defense is based on how he intends to positively utilize the brand to encourage economy whereas the renault side I believe actually have the rights. I am just reading through the lines here as I am not that well informed to tell you the truth. It's a gut feeling. |

Slight surprise. I figured Team Lotus didn't have a case. |

Who gives a crap? Neither team are Lotus, it's just legal machinations to facilitate the financial exploitation of one of the great names of F1 history. Both teams should be ashamed. |

they are not the original team as that team moved right down the grid and then went bust... but the original team had assets and they survive today so No they are not the original team but they have direct links back to the old team... As for trying to make money in F1... oh no, that's a first. |

I know exactly what the links are. I wish they'd forge their own racing team and leave the glorious name of Lotus alone. |

I wasn't bothered about Fernandes calling his team "Lotus" as long as he had the blessing of the Chapman family to do so. They withdrew their consent once this legal battle started, and I believe that Fernandes should at that point have honoured their wishes and given his team a different name. Since then I've not just considered him a tiresome, egotistical windbag - he's a disrespectful tiresome, egotistical windbag. |
