Sorry for making another Lotus thread but i think this is fairly different.
Now, that the Group Lotus are combining with the Renault team, there's a very little chance that Tony could use that Lotus brand.
Instead of that, he could possibly use Proton's name.

Well, from my POV, it's alright okay to bring that Proton brand to Formula 1. Yeah, i know the car on the road are not reliable enough. Now that you/i think about it. Lotus own by Proton. It could make sense that Tony could use that and turn it into Lotus 'junior' team.

Just like Torro Rosso and Red Bull. It's likely to happen but hey, this is Formula One. It could prove me wrong. :

And lastly, i hope that he won't change it into Proton 1Malaysia Racing team.
