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.

Lotus Renault GP wanted a fast driver with experience, and if it could be, I tested the Pirelli tyres and he had used the KERS beforehand. In other words, they want exactly the profile has Nick Heidfeld. Not in vain the German was always the first choice.
For the team, Nick importance had been given by the fact that the car had to evolve, and without a pilot with experience, that would have been impossible. They believe that their pilots reserves would not live up to the development of the car while they were on pure speed.
