It looks like the new Lotus Renault GP team will be the only team running around the track in black and gold livery next season, as Team Lotus have decided to continue using their green and yellow livery.
“Whether they copied us or we copied them that’s beside the point now. The point is what makes sense. Having two Lotus brands on the grid I think is no issue. having four black cars looking the same I think is silly and one has to relent. We’re not childish and emotional and saying ‘Oh no, we’ve got to be black and gold’. We’re pragmatic,” said Team Principal Tony Fernandes.
In his Twitter account he also revealed that the winner for the black and gold livery competition announced earlier would have his or her winning design painted on a showcar, and that they would launch a new competition based on a green and yellow design.

Comments express strong opinions about the use of the Lotus name and branding in F1, with many supporting Group Lotus and criticizing Tony Fernandes’s Team Lotus for allegedly using the logo and colors without proper rights, leading to legal disputes over the iconic green and yellow livery. There is debate over the authenticity of the teams’ identities, with supporters favoring the official Lotus-backed team while dismissing Fernandes’s team as a mere business move. Several commenters praise the return of the traditional green livery, describing it as more authentic and prestigious. There is also much speculation about legal battles, team performance, and branding rights, with some hope that the races will reveal the true strength of each team, and others emphasizing the importance of racing results over colors or names.
