With KERS, Pirelli tyres and adjustable rear wings just some of the changes being introduced in 2011, the grid's 12 teams have had a very busy off-season. For Lotus, who have also made the switch to Renault power this year, it's been an even busier winter break, but the team hope the hard work will help them to enter the mid-field fray this year. Like fellow newcomers HRT and Virgin, Lotus used Cosworth power during their 2010 debut season.
