F1 Lotus owner launches GP2 team
The Malaysian millionaire’s team is called Team Air Asia
Lotus team owner Tony Fernandes’ application to launch a GP2 team for 2011 has been successful, the series announced on Tuesday.

"The seriousness of their presentation, their ambition and their worldwide project were really appealing and in line with what we expect from all our teams," said organiser Bruno Michel.
