The company is believed to have taken the decision after indications in Japan that the automotive markets are not getting any better, Honda having recently announced a 56% drop in earnings in the last quarter, compared to 2008. Prior to that the company was looking at other options, such as selling the team on to someone else. This has now been axed and the company will simply close things down and settle all the necessary contractual commitments as quickly as possible. The news, if confirmed, will be another blow to the manufacturer power in F1 as it will be the third withdrawal by a major car company in 11 months, following in the footsteps of Honda and BMW. There are also doubts about the future of Renault's factory team. The news will also be a blow to the Formula One Teams' Association, although the members have learned that working together produces much better results than trying to take on the authorities alone. It also means that there are now just three manufacturers left: Ferrari, Mercedes and Renault, and engine supply from Cosworth will become essential to ensure there are sufficient engines to go around.

I hope you enjoy the irst taste of our beautiful green and yellow car, and I hope you enjoy reading this; an honest and open insight, written from the heart of the team.

Team Lotus is about dreams, and those dreams becoming reality. I remember when I was a boy, running a hole in the carpet with my model Lotus Formula One™ car. I had dreams then, I still do, but what I hope to inspire is the belief that if you dare to dream, you can achieve great things. Colin Chapman created the last dynasty and it’s one that inspires me and all my team to do more, think more, be more every day. But now it is time for us to create our own legend.

  • Press Information Saab AB
    PRESS RELEASE Page 1 (2) Date Reference 15 June 2018 CU 18:050 E Keel-Laying Ceremony for Swedish SIGINT Ship Built at Nauta Shiprepair Yard The keel-laying ceremony for the new Swedish signals intelligence ship took place today at the PGZ Stocznia Wojenna, located in Gdynia, Poland. The event was attended by representatives from Saab, the Polish Armaments Group (PGZ) and invited guests. Saab was awarded the contract to design and build the SIGINT ship, which will replace the Swedish Navy’s existing HMS Orion, by the Swedish Material Defence Administration FMV in 2017. Subsequently it selected Nauta Shiprepair Yard, belonging to PGZ Group, to perform the construction, launch and early sea trials of the vessel. Cooperation in ship construction between Saab and PGZ is a direct result of the agreement, signed in late 2016, to establish a close partnership between Saab and PGZ in the planning and delivery of naval programs. “Special purpose ships are primarily used for the interception and analysis of radio-transmitted signals and need to be highly reliable and available. Therefore you need highly skilled shipbuilders to build this kind of ship. We are very pleased with the progress of the construction process, and it was a pleasure to attend the keel laying ceremony at the PGZ Stocznia Wojenna, our partner in this project,” explained Gunnar Wieslander, Head of Saab Kockums. “The keel-laying ceremony was an important event in this special shipbuilding project, and we are pleased to celebrate it with our Swedish partners. We know the special purpose vessel is very important for the Swedish Navy and we are treating the construction as a high priority undertaking,” said Marcin Dąbrowski, Chairman of the Management Board, Nauta Shiprepair Yard.
