Hi
I see Lada is now sponsoring the Renault F1 team and the logo is on the nose on the side just before the barge boards and cooling intake.
They also have a Russian driver Vitaly Petrov to partner Robert Kubica.

Hi
Russian car maker Lada – for so long the butt of jokes over the quality of its cars –will sponsor the Renault Formula 1 team this season.
The deal, announced by Russian prime minister Vladimir Putin, is linked to the signing of Vitaly Petrov as the country’s first F1 driver. Putin said Renault's signing of Petrov is a "great symbol of co-operation" between the French marque and Russia.
"We will sponsor this activity [the F1 team] as a first step, and do not rule out later increasing our financial participation in the project," the prime minister told news agency EFE.
In 2008, Renault bought a 25 per cent stake in Lada's parent company Avtovaz for $1bn, and it is thought that Renault's chief executive Carlos Ghosn may now look to increase its involvement.
I found this on a website and thought it would be of interest

Well done to Russia's first F1 driver getting 3rd place today in Aus. And I see LADA still sponsor the team now called Lotus Renault.

This is great for Lada - fantastic to see Petrov finishing so strong! Great job Lotus/Renault/Lada!!!! The French and the Russian are co-operating in many fields now - even in the military. The Russians recently bought Mistral class warships from the French. Russians buying weapons from a NATO member! Marius Attachments:
