Caterham (formerly Team Lotus), its Chief Technology Officer Mike Gascoyne and Aerolab have been found liable for copyright infringement and using confidential information of Formula One team Force India at the London High Court.
The Force India Formula One team must pay legal costs of more than $1 million dollars within two weeks after a copyright case involving rivals Caterham and the operators of an Italian wind tunnel, a judge ruled on Friday.
Force India's 2008 Formula One car made its track debut at Barcelona's Circuit de Catalunya on Monday.
The new Malaysian-backed Lotus F1 team are ready to start wind tunnel tests on a scale model of their car only a month after they were handed a place on the 2010 starting grid. Gascoyne, who has worked at various Formula One teams including Renault and Toyota, said Lotus are aiming for a roll out of the new car in mid-February to test it before the season-opener in Bahrain in March.
Force India have warned Giancarlo Fisichella and Adrian Sutil that they must perform if they want to stay beyond 2008.
