Team Lotus hits back at Proton

Team Lotus has hit back at Proton after the Malaysian car maker claimed the team had asked for a big sum of money to end their naming rights dispute. As the public war of words continued between the two parties, Lotus issued a statement on Friday revoking claims from Proton, which had claimed in another statement on Thursday that Team Lotus boss Tony Fernandes had asked for up to �37 million to settle the naming row. "The statement contained a number of factual errors that are at best misleading and at worst straight lies," said Lotus on Friday about Proton's claims.
