Team Lotus team history

The Lotus company was bought by the Malaysian Proton company and the F1 team was been reborn for the 2010 season as joint venture with the Malaysian government. The team was based in Norfolk, UK. Technical director was Mike Gasgoyne (ex Jordan, Renault, Toyota, and Force India). Following arguments about the use of the name Lotus, from 2012 the team became Caterham F1 after the company bought the UK car manufacturer.
