The Hispania Racing Team has had rough start this year in F1. The upstart squad has retired seven times in as many races, failing score single championship point so far. Which is still better than Virgin has fared so far – surprisingly Sauber too – that’s no way enter field. Now outfit formerly known as Campos Meta 1 has split with its chassis supplier, with reports indicating it’s already looking into another for next season… if not for remainder this one.
Rather than design its own chassis scratch, HRT opted outsource veteran constructor Dallara. But despite having managed reach the grid in time the start the season, HRT claims Dallara didn′t put in enough testing time. There’s no question that HRT needs better car, where find one on such short notice?
According to some reports, HRT is reportedly looking to acquire TF110 – car that Toyota would have fielded this year had they not withdrawn – and race that chassis instead. The pair Toyota cars is reportedly up for sale after another F1 hopeful, Stefan GP, didn’t get slot on grid subsequently defaulted on payments to Toyota. The Cologne-based facility reportedly still operation, providing services to other racing teams, could prepared to support HRT or any other team means to make go of it.
