Team Lotus chiefs respond to Lotus-Renault formation

Yes Lotus Racing is at present Team Lotus at least according to FIA’s 2011 official entry list that was released at the end of last month. What does team boss Tony Fernandes have to suppose about yesterday’s announcement that Group Lotus has bought over Renault’s shares in the Renault F1 Team to form Lotus-Renault?

“Dany Bahar has done us a favour. Never felt better about our future and squad Lotus. Looks like they’re trying to hijack our bleak and gold idea” Fernandes wrote on his Twitter page referring to Group Lotus’ CEO. Last time unit Lotus Racing said that they will be ditching their green/yellow for the famous black/gold livery.

Technical head Mike Gascoyne also had something to say. “Thanks for all the messages of aid from our fans” he wrote on Twitter. “Rest assured we are Team Lotus and we are Hera to stay and we at Team Lotus are in F1 to design build and race F1 cars from our home in Norfolk and in the future to win as a Team bring it on.”

Even as this camp is in defiant mood Group Lotus boss Dany Bahar isn’t wish for his opponents to fade away. He told BBC Radio Norfolk: “Not at all (a problem) – for me four (cars on the grid) are good  than two. The controversy that is something that has mainly been pushed up by media I would allege has been dealt with directly by our shareholders in Malaysia and with the owners of the 1Malaysia Racing Team and doesn’t really touch us.
