“the HRT trio have been driving trucks for some reason.”
its to give Sakon some testing time in a vehicle that has the same handling characteristics as the Hispania

no, it’s because they wanted to compare HRT performances with the other trucks they are racing
bosyber said on 22nd July 2010, 20:55
Good point. And this way they can provide all of them with rides, and save money on truck drivers to boot. Win.

My guess is it has something to do with the trucks not being allowed in the back of the Garage anymore. I think I read somewhere that Martin Witmarsh said the teams are sometimes given the trucks (or at least at a reduced cost) by the manufacturer because of their presence in the garage. Without the presence due to the advertising BS, maybe HRT had to offer the manufacturer better exposure to avoid paying higher amounts of $$ for them (or having to return them)?
Just a guess but it seems like too much of a coincidence that they release these pictures shortly after the Witmarsh comments.

I think CAcarella is right.

What’s the reasoning behind banning trucks from the paddock?
KNF said on 23rd July 2010, 4:41
Advertising rights, Bernie (by way of Allsport) gets a cut from the garage advertising in all the races except Monaco (which he is now threatening) and the trucks are basically carrying team sponsor adverts without paying Allsport (which means Bernie goes starving)…
(Insert sarcastic tone above, pls…)

Didn’t Klien have a go too?

What I want to know is what’s being said between Schumacher and Vettel…
Scalextric said on 22nd July 2010, 20:52
But if you come to Mercedes next year you’ll be in a German car! Don’t worry, I can vacate my spot and look after your spot at Red Bull.

“Listen, being treated like #1 for the team TOTALLY won’t alienate your teammates, TRUST me. I mean, my teammates and I got along just fine…”

Schumacher: ‘Idiot! You were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off.’

Vettel: I had number 1 driver status last year, but I don’t know what the hell is going on this year.
Schumacher: You’re telling me. I had number 1 driver status my whole career, and look at me now! Guess we have to actually beat our teammates on track…. man this is gonna be hard!

Vett:’I feel your pain, for sure’.
