It is with a heavy heart I hear of the return of Lotus to Formula 1. In theory it sounds fantastic. The famous marque back to race again in Formula One. The reality is however I fear is quite different. I fear a bunch of fanciful business men have taken it upon themselves try and manufacture a team out of nothing and stick the Lotus label on it and cash in. I would be surprised if the team has any decent backing and even makes it to the grid in 2010 let alone last out the season.
In short I fear they are flogging a dead horse. Let Lotus lie in peace. Maybe I’m being too sceptical; I hope I am proved wrong and that Lotus become a top team again as they once were.
