Other posts are nothing but malicious rumour such as "There is still very little external funding for the team, and companies are choosing not to be associated with FI due to the toxic nature of the problems with UB & Sahara."

Bob Fearnley has publicly stated that there is no problem and current results, updates for Barcelona and a deal with Mercedes for engines next year seem to bear this out.

Still, the reasons remains the same for Lotus thread, no links or source of the rumours.
