This is the latest development of what is now know as The Red Car Scandal

- Ze USSR iz proud to announce that ze Lotus F1 Team vill now race under the flag of Mother Russia. Ze team vill remain ze zame, as ve vants ze Constructors Championship. Ze car was painted overnight by very proud comrades that agreed to vork for us in exchange for their lives. I mean, for a Russian citizenship. Shakov agreed to race for us as vell and is driving our fast car to Zilverstone right now.

This was the speech of General Yuriov Zangiefov a few moments ago on the Lotus F1 Team factory door. We heard a few witness that gave us nothing but "no comments" and were frightened by the gunshot last night. One man managed to escape and gave us this shocking statement, anonymously:

They broke into the factory around midnight, pointed guns at us and shot to the roof a few times. They were speaking in Russian, but I could understand a bit as my grandma was Russian, something about failing to produce a decent car and wanting to win the championship at all costs, the models they were copying from another team were lacking power, grip and safety, they decided to take a look at both teams and chose us after saw Shaka winning the last double round.

FDTV reporter found out General Yuriov Zangiefov was present at Zolder Press Conference pretending to be a reporter and stalked Shaka after they had an argument there.

While it appears we're witnessing a military cup the FD organizers haven't received any formal prostest and as both "Lotus F1 Team" and "Shaka" are superduperlicense holders there's no legal way to keep those Soviets out of the sport now and the race should go on as planned.
