Πολλά πράγματα συμβαίνουν τον τελευταίο καιρό στη Lotus και το τελευταίο από αυτά, είναι ένα μικρό ανακάτωμα της τράπουλας στον τομέα του σχεδιασμού. Η Lotus λοιπόν, επαναφέρει στη θέση του τον Russell Carr.

O Carr, ήταν επικεφαλής σχεδιασμού στην Αγγλική εταιρία, μέχρι που ανέλαβε τα ηνία της ο Dany Bahar. Αυτός, τοποθέτησε στην θέση του Carr, τον συμπατριώτη του, Donato Coco,

με τον οποίον είχε δουλέψει στην Ferrari. Με την αποχώρηση του Bahar όμως, ήρθε –έστω και με μερικούς μήνες καθυστέρηση- η απόλυση και του Coco. Έτσι, ο Carr απέκτησε ξανά την παλιά του θέση, έπειτα από 5 χρόνια υπό τον Donato Coco.
