This is true - but if you think about, there is really only 1 ultimate shape for a race car on a given track from an aerodynamic perspective for each type of suspension set up. And inherently, one type of suspension geometry should be better than the others for each track. So in the end, there is really only one perfect form per track - as everyone develops, they should all get closer to that perfect form. That will never happen because racing is all about compromise, and catering to your drivers - but it does mean similarities.
To stay on topic - I totally agree this team should NOT be called Lotus - there will be absolutely none of Colin Chapman's legacy or the original company's heritage involved. I know Classic Team Lotus was threatening legal action over the use of the name when it was first proposed a couple/few months ago - anybody know where that ended up?
