    They made Sauber run around as "BMW Sauber" for 12 months after BMW quit yet they let Renault/Lotus, Lotus/Caterham and now Mercedes change their names on a whim. The people who run this sport are a bunch of dumb-arses.
    Forza Ferrari!!

    I think in case of BMW Sauber, there was a contractual obligation where Sauber couldn't drop the name, and for Renault/Lotus we all know it was because of the court case.
