Lotus may be considering a change to Renault engines for 2011, BBC Sport is reporting on Monday morning. The 1Malaysia squad is currently running with Cosworth powerplants although, under previous ownership, Lotus did compete in Formula 1 with Renault power between 1983 and 1986.
With the legendary team name having returned to F1 this year, Lotus is running with governing body the FIA's default Cosworth engines although a switch to Renault now appears possible, with the French marque's engines currently powering Red Bull Racing as well as its works team, which is chiefly headed by Gerald Lopez's Genii Capital firm from 2010 onwards.
Lotus, which with Renault ran Ayrton Senna to a maiden victory at Estoril in 1985, was unable to comment on the engine situation when contacted by GPUpdate.net on Monday morning.
