Lotus, which in recent years, have made its name by developing pocket supercars that lives by their agility and ability to finesse their way through corners and the company is poised to return to Formula One next year. The effort is no less led by the Malaysian government itself. It won’t be a start-from-scratch effort either since the team will be taking over BMW Sauber. The team will be backed by the other Malaysian giant Petronas oil. The influx of esteemed European officials into Lotus has brought in fresh ideas such as competing in the world’s largest motorsport. The arrival of former Ferrari exec Dany Bahar as Lotus CEO is said to have spurred on the effort. Several other teams aside from Lotus (like Aston Martin and USF1) are looking into participating next season and the FIA is reported to be still deliberating the issue.
