This does seem like an option for a name change if they loose the court case. If Caterham are “proudly and staunchly British” I wonder if they will change the registration of the F1 team to British if they change the name, but then personally I always viewed the original Team Lotus as British but that hasn’t stopped the current Team Lotus having a Malaysian registration.

Ecclestone hopes for Turkey deal
http://en.espnf1.com/turkey/motorsport/story/47048.html"]http://en.espnf1.com/turkey/motorsport/story/47048.htmlBernie Ecclestone has said that he hopes a deal can still be reached to extend the contract of the Turkish Grand Prix.
Race organisers last week said that the future of the race was in doubt, with the head of the Istanbul Chamber of Commerce, Murat Yalcinta, claiming that Ecclestone had asked for the race fee to be doubled when the contract expires following this year's race. The race struggles to make money from ticket sales, with 200,000 spectators at the inaugural race in 2005 falling to around 35,000 in recent seasons.
Despite new races in India, the United States and Russia being added to the calendar over the next few seasons, Ecclestone has said he hasn't given up on agreeing new terms for the race at Istanbul Park to continue.
"The race brings a huge amount of people, trade and publicity to the city," Ecclestone told the Daily Express. "I am a bit disappointed and I hope we can work out a deal."

17 years since the death of Roland Ratzenberger during qualifying for the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix. Second time (the other being 2005) that the date of his death falls on the same day (Saturday). Tomorrow is, of course, the 17th anniversary of the death of Ayrton Senna.

Patrick Head - a true F1 legend
Re: 2011 Formula 1 Season - Official Discussion Thread
My thought is that Sir Frank must feel the situation the team is severe enough that it required a fresh perspective. I had high hopes for them.
