Proton and Lotus Dispute

Recently Proton has been barking about the use of Lotus brand name in the Formula 1. After invested some stakes in the Renault F1 team, it will be Lotus Renault F1 team next year, and there will be another similar F1 team branding the same - Lotus F1 Team. Proton is claiming they are the true and only Lotus team on the circuit because they own Lotus.

I am wondering is it really matter if Proton owns Lotus so the name can't be use on other team? What has Proton contributed in Lotus F1 team all these while, when everyone in the factory is working day and night just to keep the team running on the circuit.

To me this is something when someone is claiming for the fame and credit while doing nothing at all. All this while Proton only know how to put on a Lotus sticker on their car so public will have a wrong concept of Proton cars, which unfortunately didn't materialise because those with little brain will know Proton is nothing good except just pick up some small little untested gadget installing into their cars, then claiming they found new technology.

If not mistaken Proton has nothing to do with Lotus F1 team at all, except they owned up Lotus. So in order to barking around, why don't just put their effort into how and where to korek more money from their parent company - Malaysia Government
