" The bonfire erupting aboard Heikke Kovalainen&amp;#039;s Lotus in the closing stages of the F1 race in Singapore is just one part of a larger set piece playing out as Lotus Group announced that it will not renew its agreement with the 1 Malaysia Racing Team, which has been campaigning in F1 as Lotus Racing. Tony Fernandes, 1 Malaysia&amp;#039;s team principal, says he has negotiated an agreement to rebrand the team using the Team Lotus name, which David Hunt acquired in a 1994 bankruptcy proceeding involving Lotus&amp;#039; former F1 team, which had been split off from the Lotus Group. However, the UK sports car maker will contest Fernandes&amp;#039; plan to race next year in F1 as Team Lotus maintaining that Hunt never used the name in competition and therefore in effect relinquished those rights.
