Lotus F1
Lotus Racing, also referred to by the company name 1Malaysia F1 Team by the Malaysian media and parliament, is a Formula One team, making its debut in the 2010 Formula One season. Despite Lotus Racing and the former Team Lotus not being connected by much more than name, Team Principal Tony Fernandes was clear that if and when the team were to win it would not be Lotus Racing's first but Lotus' 80th victory.
The team gained its entry after BMW announced they would withdraw from Formula One at the end of the 2009 season. They have joined Virgin Racing and Hispania Racing F1 Team as new teams for 2010.
