This year's Method 1 period may have been a very enjoyable one as far as the sporting was worried, thanks to the new regulations that led to many taking on and wheel-to-wheel challenges between people, but in one facet, it has also been complicated.
Outside the monitors there was a nasty appropriate challenge between two organizations over the right to use the Lotus name since the end of last period.
The first workforce was Malaysian-owned Team Lotus that had acquired the privileges to use the name from Proton, which has the Lotus car business and ran in the common Indian Racing Natural colours.
The other is Lotus Renault GP, the Enstone-based former Renault F1 workforce that is had by Genii Money and ran in the gold-and-black livery similar to the Bob People Unique Lotus F1 motors of the ‘80s.
Eventually, Team Lotus won the appropriate challenge, and Genii Money had to battle under the Lotus-Renault name, even though the France carmaker was only giving the applications.
The frustration of having two Lotus organizations on the lines has lastly been solved, according to a record from ESPN.
Team Lotus will move its name to Caterham, as a way to advertise the carmaker it lately obtained, making Lotus-Renault as the only Lotus-branded Method 1 workforce.
But in addition, there's another workforce that will modify its name for the 2012 season: Virgin mobile will do not have Sir Rich Branson’s model name, but that of key individual Marussia.
All name changes were accepted during an F1 Fee achieving in Geneva, but they must also be ratified by the FIA Globe Engine Activity Government, which will match on November 7.
