This was a good way for the team to get the aerodynamic effect it wanted as well as meeting the crash test regulations. However the 2014 Formula 1 Technical regulations state in 15.4.3 that
An impact absorbing structure must be fitted in front of the survival cell. This structure need not be an integral part of the survival cell but must be solidly attached to it. No part of this structure may lie more than 525mm above the reference plane. It must have a single external cross section, in horizontal projection, of more than 9000mm2 at a point 50mm behind its forward-most point. Furthermore :
a) No part of this cross-section may lie more than 250mm or less than 135mm above the reference plane.
b) The centre of area of this section must be no more than 185mm above the reference plane and no less than 750mm forward of the front wheel centre line.
But what it does not say is that a “single” impact absorbing structure must be fitted in front of the survival cell. In other words multiple structures could be used.
UPDATE
It now seem that Lotus has indeed utilised twin impact structures at the front of the car but they are not identical to one another, the one on the right house the primary impact structure, whilst the one on the left houses a shorter secondary structure. Both ‘tusks’ also support the front wing.
Racecar Engineering also understands from sources within the team that the E22 has a ver clever mechanism for transmitting torque from the power unit to the transmission, which offere much greater performance than others seen by some team suppliers.

Si même avec l'équipe partenaire ça ne tourne pas rond parce que certains prennent des libertés ça peut d'autant plus arriver pour Lotus.
