  • description: In 2026, Alpine, part of Team Enstone will be using Mercedes power, after Renault shut down their engine programme. But before that, Lotus, also based at Enstone and then bought by Renault in 2015, had Mercedes engines too. Which was seen as being mad, because 2015 was 20 years since Team Enstone (then Benetton) first got Renault engines. And the results were an improvement, but the story behind the scenes was a bit weird with money, debt and HMRC knocking on the door for unpaid invoices. It was Lotus's attempt at getting performance, and they did... They just didn't have the money to maintain it. So, what happened? And what about this engine mode they found at Spa? Let's have a look... Enjoy! And remember to like and subscribe for more!
