Fresh from an eventful Singapore Grand Prix, the Lotus F1 team were today hit with yet more problems over naming rights, when 1980’s popsters, The Lotus Eaters, issued the team with a writ.
The Liverpool band, who shot to super-stardom with their… 1983 top twenty song, ‘The First Picture of You’ reckon that the name Lotus should be theirs.
We spoke to a source close to the band, currently in residence at Pontins in Minehead, who said; “We have as much as claim as anybody else to the name and when we saw that a load of cash was likely to be flying around we thought we fancied a bit of the action.”
In the meantime, more than a dozen Chinese restaurants with Lotus in their name and three flower shops are said to be considering their options.
