Yea, this is a really cool thread!
Maybe everyone knows, but there are two teams with a claim to the Lotus name. Short version as I understand it, last year Group Lotus sponsored Team Lotus (the one making the green car), but this year they decided that team couldn't build a fast enough car, so they went over to another team and those guys are building the gold car. Maybe cause of a pre-existing contract, the original Team Lotus from last year also is using the name Lotus. There was some legal wrangling going on, but it has not seemed to resolve the situation, at least not yet.
Meanwhile I believe Nick Heidfeld is taking advantage of Kubica's absence and taking that seat.
