Three Formula One stables - Team Lotus, Lotus Renault and Virgin - will change their name for the 2012 world championship season, the sport's ruling body the International Motoring Federation (FIA) announced on Sunday.
Impressive young Australian rookie Daniel Ricciardo has set himself the target of beating his Hispania team-mate Tonio Liuzzi and both Virgin drivers before the end of this year.
Virgin Racing driver Timo Glock could be forced to miss the final Formula One preseason test session after undergoing emergency surgery to remove his appendix.
