Volgens welke bron
Bij mijn weten is Genii Capital de eigenaar van het Renault F1 team. Group Lotus heeft de intentie om een deel van de aandelen te kopen, maar het is allesbehalve duidelijk of dit al gebeurd is...

The team has denied that Genii is selling out to Lotus and says that right now the team is 100% owned by Genii. There are talks about Lotus acquiring a shareholding, but this will not be more than 50%, despite the rather misleading reference to a “major” shareholding in the team that was included in the December 8 press statement.

Group Lotus is in the process of buying a stake in the team from Genii, although there are conflicting reports as to whether that has already started or Group Lotus has an option that has not yet been acted upon.

Lopez also confirmed that his Genii Capital company was the 100 per cent owner of the Renault team, despite an initial announcement that Lotus had become a major shareholder in the team when its sponsorship deal was revealed.
"We bought the 25 per cent left from Renault, so we own today 100 per cent," he said. "Lotus is a sponsor number one, and they have actually purchased an option that gives them a right to purchase a certain stake in the team within the next two years. But as we speak and, for the foreseeable future, we are totally the owners."

Deze quote van Kubica vat het voor mij perfect samen:

The Pole also played down the significance of the Lotus brand reappearing in his team's name.
"I think Lotus is our sponsor. At least from what I know it is a sponsor," he said when asked if he dreamt to drive for Lotus.
"So I could also say it is my dream to drive for Total. I think it would be different if Lotus owned the team and were fully involved into the team. It's a good partner to have and they have high ambitions. It looks promising."
