Team Lotus to be ’Caterham Team AirAsia’ in 2012 - report

Tony Fernandes’ formula one team will probably be renamed ’Caterham Team AirAsia’ ahead of the 2012 season.

And Turun Sanomat correspondent Heikki Kulta also reports that, as the long naming dispute with Proton’s Group Lotus comes to an end, the Lotus logo will be removed from the green T128 cars with almost immediate effect.

Kulta said the logos will still be seen on the Team Lotus cars this weekend but not at Monza in two weeks.

As well as the specialist British sports car maker Caterham, Fernandes also recently bought the premier league football club Queens Park Rangers.
