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 !![]() Here's a bit more information about the launch: http://www.racecar-engineering.com/news/people/445308/hispania-racing-f1-team-launch-car.html |

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

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. |

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. |
