Anyone believe that Team Lotus will ever come back?

Is there any possiblity?
Just tired of seeing big conglomerate racing. I like to see the old days... like
Terrels, Lotuses, lolas, saubers, cooper, matra.....

there is v.little benefit from a 'new' f1 party resurrecting the old name. -it's not like lotus cars are a huge money spinner & from the jaguar/ford and Toyota experiences i can't see proton touching f1 with a barge pole.

don't think abramovich is a lotus fan either so it's never going to happen.

(would be pleased to eat my words if it do & they were successful though)

When Abramovich or one of his friends realises its a great way to launder a few hundred million dollars a year of world bank money they just might buy into an F1 team.

He better hurry up though before F1 disappears into history courtesy of the wit gnome Ecclestone
