Finally, they took their time. Really was in the last minute. I wonder if they'll compete as Renault next year, and if they'll break their engine supply contract with Mercedes, or if they'll run as Lotus Mercedes for another year to collect this year's prize money and to avoid having to pay off their current engine supply contract.

Not yet finally, it is only a letter of intent, that is not a guarantee for a done deal. And apparently that letter was already signed some time ago.
Can't imagine Renault driving with Merc engines next year. I'm pretty sure they have settled this already since Merc has apparently confirmed to supply engines to Manor and they will only supply 4 teams.
