Firstly, even though his picture is up over there, this post isn’t actually a dig at Bruno Senna. It’s just I didn’t fancy justifying the HRT car’s existence with a photograph.Why? Well… Sweet Lord Monkeyballs That Car Is A Pile Of Shite! I mean, the only defence of that car – which got two shakedown [...]
