New Car For HRT?
Wednesday, January 26, 2011 at 10:36AM
After saying that this years car would be an upgrade on the 2010 chassis HRT, or more correctly Colin Kolles, is saying that it will now be a totally new car designed under the direction of Geoff Willis. Furthermore it will run at Bahrain test. But he also says "At the moment, there are approximately 40 designers finalizing the first spec." And it is going to run in Bahrain? HRT are still to name which young driver has a big enough bag of money to come and drive the "new" car.
Force India have however confirmed the worst kept secret that Sutil and Di Resta will race their cars with Hulkenburg as the third driver. So, now let's see what Luizzi does. Now contracts are made to be broken, here in the US it is the quick and the dead for employment contracts, so I'm sure there is a get out clause, it just depends how much it is going to cost Mallya. As Joe Saward points out the bigger cost is to Mallya's credibility. I know F1 is called the "Piranha Club," but VJ has quickly become a senior member.
So Cape Town is lining up a bid for an F1 race. Do they not get the Australian news over there? What is it that makes usually sane business people think that they can make an F1 race work financially when the example is out there for all to see that you cannot, except it seems Silverstone. But then they have all those mad poms, and yes I was one once.
For all it is two days away from the start of the Rolex weekend and less than a week to F1 testing, there is little news to stir the blood, so see you tomorrow.
