I think the money brought by Petrov has been overstated, apparently Lada wasa tie up with Renault and there is only a russian vodka sponsor extra. Plus Lotus are sticking in a load of cash now, and if Boullier is to be believed, there are sponsors in the wings who wouldn't commit until the name thing was sorted. I doubt the Malaysians are too bothered about a Russian in the team.

My thoughts are that there is adecent chance that Petrov will get moved on, and if he does maybe he could find his way to the actual Russian team, (Marussia Virgin), although I think they have Glock and Pic signed up, maybe Pic is not guaranteed a race drive.

That would clear the way for Grosjean to come in, and they could hang in to Senna until Kubica proves one way or the other is he is coming back. That would solve the 4 into 2 won't go problem that Lotus (nee Renault) seem to have.

I personally think Senna is somewhere close to Petrov, so they don't lose much if anything there, and Grosjean (despite his previous troubles) i rate as a decent prospect, he was just hopelessly under prepared last time.
