Virgin to change name.
Team Lotus will not be the only team changing its name in the near future.

How a good thing: having a team whose name (taken from the Russian carmaker) resembles that of one Russian or Ukrainian nice girl!

Pfft. They should only change their name when they get in the points. After all, until one scores one remains a Virgin...

It's a pity to see so many name changes in the sense that they don't build the history and aura of the likes of Tyrrell and Minardi, but no-one in F1 can complain because the high costs have caused names to become so sponsor-led.
I originally hoped this would be the Manor team. |

So after all that legal wrangling...
Team Lotus are to become Caterham, and Renault to become Lotus? |
