Am I missing something, or has Lotus yet to confirm their engine supplier for next year? Surely they would need to know by now who’s engine/power unit they are going to fit in the E22. I would assume they will continue with Renault.
I think you are right, nothing has been formally agreed meaning they are the last team on the grid which need to formally announce a powertrain deal. The last I read so far as Lotus goes was this (http://www.formula1.com/news/headlines/2013/6/14690.html). Red Bull and STR confirmed they will use Renault powertrains ages ago (http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/107672) and Caterham have also confirmed their Renault deal (http://www.formula1.com/news/headlines/2013/6/14690.html).
The problem is that Renault has a close realtionship with its old team but Lotus still hasn’t paid it’s bills completley and therefore Renault isn’t keen on signing a deal early.
