HRT Find Way To Go Even Slower

Okay kids, picture this scenario: You are the Team Principal of Hispania Racing, the slowest team on the grid by quite a long way.

No Split Qualifying In Monaco

Last week, there were some rumours flying around saying that the GPDA would ask Race Director Charlie Whiting to split Q1 in Monaco as they were all worried about the effect which traffic would have. The slow cars were worried about getting in the way of a flying lap around Monaco’s twisting, turning streets and [...]

After spending the first four races of the season flailing around down the grid, this morning he picked up two third placed finishes.

Klien Joins Yamamoto As HRT Test Driver

Ever since Hispania Racing limped onto the grid, they have said that they want some experienced F1 drivers to help them develop their car. It’s nothing against their current duo of Bruno Senna and Karun Chandhok, it’s just that neither of those men have experience outside of GP2 and so probably aren’t the best people [...]

Hispania Blame Poor Showing On Dallara

It is hardly a small secret that HRT have had the hardest time of all the teams which made the grid this season. We all remember the brilliant shots of Karun Chandhok jumping in and out of his overalls in Bahrain as the mechanics literally built his car for him in the pits. Then, two [...]

Thursday Quickies

With the domino effect that back-to-back Grand Prix’s brings, there is an awful lot of news out there this morning. The following stories I found pretty interesting, but not interesting enough to give their own articles: After Karun Chandhok managed to somehow get that HRT car to the finish line in Australia, the team are [...]

Report Card: The New Teams

After their second race, lets see how the new teams graded shall we? Lotus F1: Grade C+ Although Lotus once again got a car to the finish in Heikki Kovalainen, Jarno Trulli didn’t even get to start. To be honest, with either HRT or Virgin F1 getting a car to the finish would have resulted [...]

Race Recap: The Australian Grand Prix

We decided not to do the live coverage of the race as after only getting an hours sleep following the UFC 111 event that finished at 5:30am. That was a mistake. The 2010 Australian Grand Prix was absolutely incredible. There were scraps, crashes, safety cars, rain, drama, moaning drivers and last gasp runs. In case [...]
