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.

My son is not me, but I still let him use my name. What can I say - he has my eyes.

That may be so Pasta, but Team Lotus and Group Lotus are the equivalent of the 'milkmans'. They have his eyes. ;)

And not only that but there are also not borne of his wife..... so apart from them not being related in any way I can totally see Pasta's point.

Yes, they mixed them up in the hospital by accident and the 'real' lotus ended up in a Red Bull.

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.

Good sum up.
