Hispania, many shadows on the new car in Abu Dhabi

If good day starts in the morning, 2011 of HRT is likely to be very dark. Less than a week from early season test, held in Valencia from 1 to 3 February, the English team is still far in developing the car in 2011.

" Our new machine will not be ready for any of the test English" - (there will be after Valencia Jerez and Barcelona, \u200b\u200bed.) - Revealed in an interview with the Times of India the neopilota HRT Narain Karthikeyan , explaining that take to the track with the car adapted 2010, the hope is to have the new machine for the last test in Bahrain, a week before the season. Kathikeyan also explained that Hispania for the biggest change since last season will be the use of transmission Williams, saying that the car will not use the Kers 2011, while this will be the device for adjusting the rear wing.

"As soon as the F111 (the name of the HRT 2011) will be ready, we will use, we are working on the project along with several engineers, about forty, led by Geoff Willis as technical director, and by Paul White as Chief Designer , "said Team Principal Colin Kolles , Adding that " last year we started the season without ever having tried it, while testing in Spain this year will still be an opportunity for our riders to try the Pirelli tires .

What's new machine is not the only problem at home Hispania; first continues to spin the decision on the pilot alongside Karthikeyan. At first it seemed to be the chosen Davide Valsecchi, who was the fastest in testing last November in Abu Dhabi between the rookie team tested by debutantes in 2010. But the budget made available by the sponsors of Valsecchi was not considered sufficient Kolles. Same fate for the 24 year old Venezuelan Rodolfo Gonzalez.

Per finire, il team spagnolo deve anche fare i conti con una sorta di “fuga” di personale. L'ultimo in ordine di tempo è Xevi Pujolar, approdato nel 2010 dalla Williams, dove aveva lavorato con Webber, Montoya e Ralf Schumacher, e fresco di ritorno proprio nella scuderia di Sir Frank e Patrick Head come ingegnere di macchina di Pastor Maldonado.
Prima di lui, ad abbandonare una nave sempre sul rischio di affondare è stata l'addetta stampa Tabatha Valls, che ha preferito addirittura la Virgin.
