Thesan Capital wants to Javi Villa in one of the Hispania

Just two days have passed since it announced the purchase of Hispania Racing by the investor group of Thesan Capital and has already begun to talk about possible pilots who are interested in the new owners. Apparently the shareholders want to nationalize the structure as much as possible, and the first step would be Spanish pilots sit in their seats.
The first name as comes shuffling from yesterday is Javi Villa. The Asturian one in 23 years is one of the favourites for the new owners of Hispania Racing. Proof of this is that according to ACE, yesterday in Madrid was made the first contact between the two sides and probe as it is currently the situation.
There is that remember that Javi village is currently away from cars, that currently held the world touring car and some races of the Mini Challenge. The objective would be riding the next season in one of the Hispania, still without specifying if I would like pilot owner or merely as a tester. Names such as the of Roberto Merhi, of the rose or Sainz, Jr. also sound for the future of the team.

I would love to be the first Spanish driver that runs with Hispania. The F-1 is the F-1 and it is clear that all pilot wants to run there. I would like to see how consolidates the project, which I am sure it will be.

They put Colin Kolles out of Hispania Racing F1 Team

Rumor that comes from England and Germany and which already are being echoed in our country. There could be changes of deep draught Hispania f1 racing team . Colin Kolles, Team Manager of Hispania Racing F1 Team, could fail to hold this Office, which would happen at the hands of Geoff Willis. The position of the British head of the technical plot of the Spanish team would be Gary Savage, who worked in passing by the BAR and Honda teams.
Lack of official confirmation, the owner of Hispania f1 racing team makes it clear in the interview published this week by the magazine Grand Prix Actual no post is safe within the Spanish structure, even though the Kolles role in the birth of the project was essential. The movement charge of Hispania Racing Team would mean the nth project failed of Kolles in formula one.

Grand Prix of Europe F1 2011: Hispania Racing F1 Team is mixed with the Marussia Virgin Racing

Hispania Racing F1 Team has been mixed with the Marussia Virgin Racing today in the qualifying session for the formula 1 Prix Europe great. This is a good result for the Spanish team, which runs the second home race this weekend. Although Vitantonio Liuzzi has not been able to overcome to Timo Glock, has really surpassed Jerome D'Ambrosio.
Therefore, the two last rows of the grid alternate Virgin cars and Hispania, with Narain Karthikeyan closing the grill. After the success of Canada, Hispania aims to gradually reach its rivals, and they are still working on the same line. It seems that the Spanish team does not lose comba and may fight you to you tomorrow with Virgin.
Although Liuzzi has completed a second Timo Glock, race probably you can try to fight with the German, because that, in general, the Hispania has behaved better this season on Sunday than Saturday. It will have to wait to see what will happen tomorrow, with Liuzzi and Karthikeyan ready to attack it as necessary.
Therefore, the objective of the team for tomorrow will be finish ahead of the two Virgin and perhaps come a little closer to the Lotus of Tony Fernandes, if they have good pace. First and foremost, finish the race is always vital, if its rivals have problems, clear. When others fail, must be able to finish and take advantage of situations.

Grand Prix of Canada F1 2011: Hispania Racing F1 Team, the best of the three new teams

After the formal training of yesterday, things already painted well, but no one would have ever thought that Hispania Racing F1 Team could place their two cars ahead of the Lotus and the Virgin, in career. But this has been, both Vitantonio Liuzzi and Narain Karthikeyan have become an excellent career which has seen them come in thirteenth and fourteenth position.
In the end, the result has changed, then Narain Karthikeyan has received a drive through applied after the race, which has made him lose three positions, by having jumped a curve at a point in the race. But the speed is there. Of course, the race today was not the most normal, and the Gilles Villeneuve circuit is very special, of if same, but the result is excellent.
In fact, this result surpasses the best result obtained by the team last year in a couple of chaotic races where not many cars finished and becomes the best result in the history of the team. Today is different, because both cars have crossed the finish line ahead of its rivals, which shows us that, at least, have circuits where it can be competitive.
Now it miss to see if Hispania can confirm this improvement in the next races, qualifying in front of the Virgin, and fought with them in the races. Although, why not fight with the Lotus, also? In the end, today has been fight and win. Little I have, rather than congratulate the entire Hispania, highly competitive team throughout the weekend.

Grand Prix of Canada F1 2011: the Hispania Racing F1 Team are already faster than the Virgin

What have seen you today to Hispania Racing F1 Team has been fantastic, ending both cars ahead of the Virgin of Jerome d' Ambrosio, and Vitantonio Liuzzi in front of the Virgin's Timo Glock. But also, Narain Karthikeyan has ended less than a tenth of a Glock, demonstrating that the Hispania is at the level of the Virgin, or slightly ahead.
Although, if we are going to analyze the results, it is also true that both the Hispania and the Virgin are far from their ex-rivales of Lotus Renault. Why I say ex-rivales? It is simple; Currently, the Lotus Renault are closer to the Toro Rosso and company to the Hispania and Virgin. We could say that the "Cosworth Cup" is only a matter of four cars.
In any case, little by little, the Spanish team is moving forward, and it is doing things well done. Step to step it goes approaching to rivals, and for now it seems that it is able with one of them. If they would regularly be ahead of the Virgin, may begin to arise even away from them, and finished in tenth position in the Championship.
For tomorrow, the objective is very clear; finish ahead of the Virgin, and if it rains, finish the race, trying to make it as forward as possible. A chaotic race and a good position, albeit without points, can be the key to getting finished ahead of Virgin in the Championship, and I am sure that know this in Hispania.

GP of Monaco F1 2011: the cars of Hispania are over 107%

Then when it seemed that Spain began to pick up pace, being much more close to Virgin and even ahead in some timed sessions, seems that they become problems of the Spanish team in Monaco. After the first free the two seater HRT are above the time to brand the limit of 107% to participate in the race on Sunday.
Even we are talking about that or with the use of the soft during the Q1 super tire could be within the limit, something that makes us not presage a quiet session during the qualifying session on Saturday. All this despite the fact that expected these rubbers to improve in a second time per lap.
It remains to be seen as going because of not improve their times I see very difficult that Commissioners let them participate in the race. Especially if we take into account that we are in an urban circuit in the style of Monaco, which can be rolled around the 1: 17 steadily. If we consider that the Hispania are around 1: 23 may make them a true mobile chicanes and even much complicate the security of the rest of the pilots.

Grand Prix of Spain F1 2011: Hispania Racing F1 Team leads a boring career in house with a worse result than expected

Hispania Racing F1 Team has now starred a race very bland in the Grand Prize of House with a worse than expected result. The last position of Narain Karthikeyan and the abandonment of Vitantonio Liuzzi cannot be a positive outcome, that there is no doubt, and less on the career of Spain.
After qualifying yesterday, training with Hispania to elude the last row of the grid output and mixed with the Virgin, expected a very good result today. The reality has been completely different, demonstrating that, although slowly approached, they still have to get to the level of rivals.
Although during much of the race, Hispania pilots have been able to be accompanying the Virgin, one of those who came behind you, Nick Heidfeld, booted them stickers in pursuit of a spectacular comeback. In the end, the Virgin have been distanced, aided by about HRT that still won't.
Shows that the car does not work as it should, moreover, the technical problems in the car of the Italian Grand Prix, which has been forced to leave. Nevertheless, the balance of the weekend leaves see very clearly that, on a return, they are already able to be with the Virgin, and that is great news.

Grand Prix of Spain F1 2011: Hispania Racing F1 Team will occupy the penultimate row of the grid

Although this is not a surprise at this point in the season, Hispania racing f1 team has managed to qualify again for their two cars with a view to the race tomorrow, and they will play the penultimate row of the gridSince that Nick Heidfeld has not been able to take part in the classification.
The pilot of Lotus Renault Grand Prix has been as his car is lit during the third session of free practice. This has prevented him from going out to track and, therefore, it has been impossible to avoid staying on the tail of the grid for the race tomorrow.
Vitantonio Liuzzi, the first of the two Hispania, is over half a second away from the Virgin's Timo Glock. Little by little the Hispania are close to the Virgin, and today have shown to be already at the height of his rivals for the 11th pick of the Championship.
It must be borne in mind that the two Hispania have been in front of the two Virgin until almost the end of the session, and only a last breath of the car rojinegro of Glock has allowed him to qualify ahead of the Spanish team carsWhile D'Ambrosio has not succeeded.
Facing tomorrow, the team of Jose Ramon Carabante will seek to finish the race and, to be able to be, fight with Timo Glock and Jerome D'Ambrosio. This year they have already demonstrated that race they tend to be as far as in training, so that they could get to stay ahead is not disposable.

Grand Prix of Turkey F1 2011: Hispania Racing F1 Team takes their two cars to the finish

Yesterday in the classification was good, now in race the situation has been different, but in any case, Hispania Racing F1 Team has carried its two cars to the finish, which is always very important, taking into account the lack of mileage of the team during the preseason.
Hispania career has generally been quietsince that have always been some distance of the Virgin of Jerome D'Ambrosio and the Lotus. While Narain Karthikeyan was trying to keep up with the Belgian pilot, Vitantonio Liuzzi had a day with more problems.
The Italian driver has reached target two turns of his teammate, after a day which has not been easy for him. Arrive at two rounds of your team-mate has to be hard, even if the problems were not necessarily fault.
In any case, within two weeks, Hispania will be the first of two races home with Virgin as a goal to beat, something that today is not impossible, as it was demonstrated in the good classification of Vitantonio Liuzzi yesterday same.

Hispania Racing F1 Team wants to "hunt" Marussia Virgin Racing

After seeing during the Chinese Grand Prix "first evolution" in the history of Hispania Racing F1 Team, new cover of engine without fin sharks and new front wing, in the Spanish team are very optimistic for the future. Despite the problems are more closely rivals of what one might think and that is why the objective of Hispania Racing F1 Team in the Grand Prize of Turkey will be reaching Marussia Virgin Racing.
To this end, in Istanbul Park improvements, both mechanical and aerodynamic level will present, during the day on Friday as the head of the team, Colin Kolles has stated. The German acknowledges that the Turkish route should encourage them already that best suits the f than to other cars so it hopes to reduce the distance of the classification and fight for positions during the race. That Yes, without forgetting that the real objective of the team is lead to the two cars to the checkered flag.

Hispania Racing Team is growing more due to his new sponsor

Base batteries is a company of the India now is the new sponsor of the team, Hispania Racing Team. I say that the presence of Narain Karthikeyan in the team is like a door open to this type of sponsorship, and are welcome. It is not the amount of the contribution of the Indian company, but that is normal in Formula 1. No wonder nor the bet of corporations than the one country in formula one when the Grand Prize of the India carried for the first time the great circus the Asian giant this year. It is a boom that we still have to make more news, insurance.
For HRT is good news for several reasons: first the financial injection that we assume, and second because it supported the work carried out and gives the opportunity to continue betting Fort, now that we see how the direct competitors of the team get batteries. HRT too it (go bad joke, I apologize in advance).
According to Ramon Carabante:

We're excited about having reached an agreement of collaboration and sponsorship with Base Batteries, one of the largest companies in the India batteries. It will be the official supplier of the equipment. It is another step in our desire to lay the groundwork for the project that we are modeling since last year. I am sure that this agreement will enable us to continue with our plans for development, to turn us in an increasingly competitive team and want to see fulfilled the objectives we have set

He is a three-year contract, not bad for the team again, and the logo of Base Batteries will be well, presumably between the decoration of the HCT. We will see in the Grand Prize of Turkey in what position placed it.

Vitantonio Liuzzi expects a strong improvement of the Hispania

The third test of the world of formula left fans a good taste in your mouth. The Spanish team proved their solvency and reliability, finishing the race and getting some cronos who could do nothing to improve the morale of the team. vitantonio liuzzi is one of the optimists and after seeing improvement of HCT now expects a great development for the next Grand Prize of Turkey.
There Hispania Racing Team will debut a new aerodynamic package that will join the recently installed front wing gave such good results. The Italian pilot relies on the experience of Geoff Willis in order to be closer to even of the Virgin, or even to exceed them, in the race to be held in a few weeks in the circuit in Istanbul.

The parts we use US led to a slight improvement, but we could not use some of the improvements that we brought to the race because of problems with the material. At Turkey we look forward to a significant step forward. You have a person as Geoff at the forefront of the development gives me confidence, because the has a great curriculum with teams like Red Bull, Bar and Williams.

GP of China F1 2011: Hispania Racing F1 Team manages to carry their two cars until the end of career

Hispania Racing F1 Team has managed to get both cars at end of racea Grand Prix in which there has been no technical problems to anyone and that only the abandonment of Jaime Alguersuari has been prevented from doing a full. The Spanish team, moreover, has been fighting for position with the Virgin for much of the race.
In fact, Narain Karthikeyan was ahead of Timo Glock for much of the race, although in the end the German pilot did apply his experience and the speed of the Virgin to overcome the second pilot of Hispania, that it has completed the race with just a pit stop to change tires.
Hispania Racing F1 Team seems to have returned to start in 2011. In 2010, the car was black; now it is white. The chassis is new, they had to start again without preseason, unclassified in Melbourne. Things paint very badly, but gradually the team will back the flight and, at the moment, is already where it was in 2010.
In general, successful where Hispania is China. Both cars in the line of goal and accumulated miles which will be used to better understand the car and prepare for the Grand Prize of Turkey, in three weeks. I'm beginning to think that perhaps the words of Vitantonio Liuzzi aren't so wild.

Hispania Racing F1 Team Debuts nose and agreement with Mercedes GP at Sepang

In the absence of an official photo, toca put photo of the nose which we could see the Circuit de Catalunya. But hey, the news is that Hispania Racing F1 Team debuts during the Grand Prize of Malaysia nose. It's a nose high in the style of Mercedes GP and that should have been used a fortnight ago in Australia. But the new nose did not exceed the crash-test of the FIA and they had to wait.
Failing to see if finally mounted it during the Grand Prize and if all of the front wing will have more changes, this should mean an important step in the benefits of the single-seater. In the design of the f, work of Geoff Willis and Paul White, high nose plays an essential to channeling the air toward the rear diffuser and the hulks of cooling. Is it sufficient that Vitantonio Liuzzi and Narain Karthikeyan can qualify?.
The second story refers to a new partnership agreement, following the signing with Williams F1. Hispania Racing F1 Team may use one of the Mercedes GP wind tunnels to work in the aerodynamic development of the f. A single-seat which is designed entirely using CFD, as it has done Marussia Virgin Racing in his two seasons in formula one.

GP Australia 2011 F1: Hispania F1 Racing Team fails to qualify for the race

Seven seconds, Vitantonio Liuzzi, and nine seconds, Narain Karthikeyan. This is the difference between the best time of the Q1 and times of the pilots of Hispania F1 Racing Team, which fails to qualify for the race. Bad balance sheet for the Spanish team.
The truth is that, with a team that has failed to prove the car until the current session, could not ask more. The car has could not test it except a few laps at the third session of free practice with Narain Karthikeyan, and that there will be after invoice.
The truth is that there is not much to say about the training of Hispania, in the sense that the "surprise" that Spain is not classified is not so surprised, especially seeing what was happening throughout the daybears too much resemblance to what we saw last year.
What they obviously do not know is if the team prompted some permission to exit race, to be able to tune the car. Wouldn't be the first time this has happened, though, view the speed (or lack of) of the Hispania, it would be best that tomorrow these cars do not compete, and expect that things will improve in Malaysia.

GP Australia 2011 F1: Hispania Racing F1 Team uses their first wild card to curfews

In 2011, one of the new rules introduced by the FIA has been curfew. During the night of Thursday and Friday, teams may not work in cars for a period of six hours (depending on each Grand Prize and his schedule change period)
This rule has an exception. The teams will have four wildcards throughout the season. Four opportunities to work in the single-seat all night if there is need. In the day yesterday, Hispania Racing F1 Team spent its first wild card. HRT had to work all night to try to have the car available to the first free practice. Not it could be, at least have able to start the car in the last moments of the second session and complete a first round of installation. Over the last year, they take advantage Saturday free practice session.

Vitantonio Liuzzi ensures that the contract with Hispania is imminent

It follows the rumor mill on the second wheel of Hispania. If only two days ago Christian Klien defending their chances with the Spanish team, yesterday, Vitantonio Liuzzi said that his contract with Hispania is imminent, all elements are in place.
The Italian Grand Prix, which already proved in February with Hispania, explains that in Hispania have realized that the team needs a pilot with experience who can develop the car. Having a driver to pay but to just shoot the car, without contributing anything of good, does not suit them. To be able to vote this post you must login or register here.

According to Liuzzi, If the results are good, possible contracts with sponsors can get, which would mean an income which not him would not bad team at the moment. Although, of course, the question is whether Hispania will prefer that possibility some millions of euros, in the event that someone would bring.
What is quite curious to see is that Vitantonio already speaks of objectives for the 2011 season. Its objective will be to beat a Virgin and Lotus to achieve tenth position in the constructors championship, while recognizing that it will not be easy. In spite of this, Liuzzi was convinced of the potential of the new car of the team.

Christian Klien still chooses to become pilot of Hispania Racing F1 Team

Christian Klien still chooses to become pilot of Hispania Racing F1 Team, although Vitantonio Liuzzi who has more options to be the second driver of the Spanish team. Klien explains that it is still negotiating with HRT and assures that he would love to compete with them in 2011.
The Austrian driver, who played a single race in 2010, in what was his official return to formula one, he feels confident in terms of their options. It highlights the work he has done Hispania during the winter and believes that the f will help that team closer still to his rivals. To be able to vote this post you must login or register here.

Klien said that the fact of not having released the new car that he is not at a disadvantage against other drivers, as Liuzzi or Mondini, which, logically, also has experience with the new car, as well as Christian. It therefore hoped to be able to run in 2011.
It is quite curious to see how a driver who is not yet in the team talk about him. It explains, for example, that seen in 2010 they worked, is very clear that in 2011 will know use their limited resources in the most efficient way to imagine.
Interestingly, Liuzzi and Klien already were "fighting" for a seat in formula one, during the season 2005, Red Bull. At that time, the team now world champion stayed with Klien. Nevertheless, they are very good friends, and very often talk about. Christian is sure that, whatever the decision, that will not change.
