Badger GP
Renault are close to sealing an F1 return, but let's not forget how close they came to being banned from the sport completely in 2009.
Lotus driver Romain Grosjean had to do interviews in the rain and was fed by Renault before the Japanese Grand Prix.
The British-based constructor face an uncertain future amid mounting money problems, and they were locked out of their hospitality tent on Thursday.
"It's good to see the hospitality you get in the paddock when you are running out of food and the other teams are opening their doors," said Grosjean.
Lotus are in court for a third time on 28 September over an unpaid tax bill.
Some of the freight for this weekend's race, including the pool of Mercedes engines, only arrived in the paddock shortly after lunch on Thursday.
"Hopefully it should all be sorted and the most important thing is we have what we need to race.
It does not mean we can't fight for podiums this weekend," said Grosjean. "Look at Spa, we had bailiffs in the garage and we ended up on the podium".
Lotus are in talks with car manufacturer Renault over a takeover deal to secure their Formula 1 future.
Grosjean appears set to leave the cash-strapped outfit at the end of the season with newly-formed American outfit Haas likely to be his destination.

Financially-troubled Lotus F1 are one of three teams whose Formula 1 future is in doubt, with Red Bull and sister team Toro Rosso also considering an exit.
Kimi Raikkonen has promised to help Ferrari team-mate Sebastian Vettel if the German becomes a serious challenger to Hamilton in this season's title race.
Sergio Perez has confirmed that he was approached to drive for Renault in 2016, but feels that staying with Force India will be better for his career.
Formula 1 teams will have greater choice over the tyres they use under new rules to be introduced for next season.
Ferrari's recent results are "wonderful for Formula 1" after so much Mercedes dominance, says former world champion Nigel Mansell.
Verstappen will not be in trouble with his team for disregarding the orders.
Max Verstappen joked that his dad would have "given me a kick in the nuts" had he obeyed orders to let Toro Rosso team-mate Carlos Sainz pass in Singapore.

So Rosberg gets a pole position in front of Hamilton in Austin after Q3 is abandoned. In a straight fight in the wet my money will be on Hamilton.

That was one of the most entertaining F1 races for a long while. It had everything, you really wouldn't have expected that after all the bad weather running up to it. Brilliant !

Managed to sneak away for the last 4 laps as I'm on my holybobs. Looked a great race judging by the press reports.
It really was a good one Andy. At least you'll be able to watch it on the i - player?

What else would expect your brand new 3 time F1 world champion to be doing then eh? Just when you thought you'd seen it all.
