Well they too are looking for a new name - Forcey McForce Team?

FIA haven't openly stopped them from using Force One, but it was felt to be too similar to F1 so they are going down a different route.

I'm wondering if the Liberty involvement will see a wider change in the way teams are named in future, and whether anything in the rules prevents (or encourages) this. We already have engines that are badged on the basis of sponsorship - is there any rule that prevents a team being entirely named after a main sponsor?

I get that we see Martini-Williams and Sahara Force India, but everyone still refers to them as just Williams and Force India.
Could we see the team/constructor name dropped for just Sahara racing versus Martini racing?
