Lotus, like the rest of the Renault
teams arrived in Melbourne on the back foot, with powerunit issues
the predominant reason behind their pre-season issues. Lotus having
missed the first test in Jerez however have even less testing mileage
under their belts and so would really be using Australia as a
stepping stone in terms of launching their campaign.

The rear wing has been amended with the
inclusion of 4 strakes on the endplate, having been used on it's
predecessor it's no surprise to see them added. This time though the
strakes are deliberately much larger and look to make use of the
airflow dissipated by the tyres and other surrounding airflow
structures. The strakes help manage the direction of the airflow and
will assist in creating upwash, a desired effect that'll help to
create an aerodynamic link between the diffuser and rear wing planes
which has been reduced this season with the loss of the beam wing.
