With all the talk that Lotus might be going back to Renault ownership for 2016, here's a look at the last roll-out for the team when it still had Renault branding back in 2010.
Robert Kubica had just been signed to take over from Fernando Alonso who had departed for Ferrari. His team mate for the season was Vitaly Petrov, who became Russia's first Formula One driver, while Eric Boullier had just taken over as the new team principal.
The following year Renault downsized its involvement in Formula One and limited its role to that of an engine supplier, selling its stake to Lotus which put a John Player Special-inspired livery on the car for the 2011 season. Which at least meant an end to the wince-inducing yellow-and-black bumblebee stylings you can see in this picture from the archives!
