The only difference (or the teams can exploit are the two ends of the front wing, the "shape" of the nose cone, mirror location, shape of sidepod without attachments, floor plate, and the horizontal plates of the rear wings, and diffusor)....actually that's quite a lot....but all the teams are getting to look more similar compare to 2007-2008 when there's more technical freedom of add-on wings and so.....

Another booming airline entrepreneur enters F1...
After Kingfisher, now Air Asia....which also sponsors ManUtd Football Club.... (btw...isn't Air Asia is the current sponsor for AT&T Williams???)

It's a shame that Lotus allowed them to do this. Why couldn't they have taken the Chevy name or something?

To stay on topic - I totally agree this team should NOT be called Lotus - there will be absolutely none of Colin Chapman's legacy or the original company's heritage involved. I know Classic Team Lotus was threatening legal action over the use of the name when it was first proposed a couple/few months ago - anybody know where that ended up?

Agreed. But I'm guessing Lotus could be getting a nice paycheck for the name use along with the advertising.
