Hispania Racing

For those of you who don't know who Hispania Racing are, they're a new Spanish Formula One team that is due to compete in in this year's World championship. Their drivers will be Bruno Senna (nephew of three-times World Champion Ayrton) and Karun Chandhok.

Here's a picture of the car that they're using, which they launched this week (leaving it a bit late, aren't they?). I don't know why they're using brown (probably the colour of some sponsor they haven't announced yet), but at least it looks like chocolate...I wanna eat it :P !

Here's a bit more information about the launch:

They aren't doing so well.

0 points in 10 races. They are the slowest of the new cars.

That's why they have blue flags :P .

But, yeah...things haven't gone well for them, especially since they've fallen out with Dallara, the company that built their car.

I almost wonder if they will leave after this season

No, they'll just have to improve.

It wouldn't be surprising if they do leave, due to lack of funds and the ability to build a car.

Lotus won't be leaving though, their trying to improve their engine.

Yeah - they're the only one of the new teams to show real promise (despite only being let in when BMW Sauber pulled out). I think there's still hope for Virgin, but only if they make a significant step forward next year.

Lotus did best in Malaysia, when Kovalienen got into the 2nd qualifying round.

Virgin have been faster than Lotus in about 4 races though.

Still less than half, and they had all these problems with wings falling off and fuel tanks being too small that Lotus didn't have. They seem a bit more organised now, though...we'll probably see them next year, but I do have my doubts about Hispania.
