Autosport had it as a suspension mounting problem on the day it happened.

Engine mount I thought they said.

The engine mount-thing was unlikely to be the problem since Lotus already knows the Renault engine.

[PhillipM]

And it was reported as the steering feel strange, which would be a fancy engine mount if it's the case

Did you guys know that Mercury eats aluminum?..... Food for thought.

Nom nom, hmmm, aluminium being one of the key materials on a formula 1 car, engine mount being one of the key aluminium parts,,,, I wonder,,,,, could they have had a hydraulic failure and destroyed the engine mounts? Is the hyrdaulics kept near the engine at all?

Mercury? Wasn't that one of the left field ideas in the pre launch speculation thread for a different car?

Stick to the actual features of the Lotus E20 please.

The lotus E20 had innovative suspension, they may have modified it to add mecury into it, and it could explain the engine mount issues, I think it is on topic
