All Hail The Return Of Lotus...Sort Of

Headline at
EuroSport.com "Lotus Return to F1 as Sauber Miss Out"
So the greedy SOB's at BMW wanted a fortune from Peter Sauber which I guess he couldn't produce. Now we're losing quite a few jobs here and a stat-of-the-art wind tunnel will be without much use. It might even be closed and sold.
Now the FIA has closed the door on Sauber and granted an entry to Lotus F1. Now, I wouldn't mind so much if it was Lotus, but
"'The cars will be made in Malaysia, by Malaysians,' the Malaysian government said."
"Lotus will initially be based in Norfolk, some 10 miles from the original Lotus Cars factory in Eastern England, but the future design, manufacturing and technical centre will be purpose built at Malaysia's Sepang International Circuit."
They should call it Lotus Blossom F1
