So the sponsors of Lotus F1, Group Lotus are no longer sponsoring the team Lotus F1.
It seems as if there are problems at Group Lotus involving debts (not entirely surprising considering Bahar's behaviour and claims about the number of cars Group Lotus could sell. If they didn't pass the sponsorship amount to Lotus F1 then Genii will have to make up the difference and hunt for a new title sponsor. Surely there's another company out there with Lotus in the name.
And a second article to back up James Allen's site from Joe Saward: http://joesaward.wordpress.com/2012/04/06/lotus-and-lotus-part-439/
Seems that Lotus F1 might find it hard to change their name to Genii F1 or whatever now that they have split with Group Lotus.
I guess Tony Fernandes is laughing his head off now he rebranded his team to Caterham and he's well out of this mess.
