Sponsorship comes in two flavours. You either place a product on the car with the hope they sell more or you place a driver inthe car with the hope he sells his talent.
Everyone starts from somewhere, even if small. The hope being to improve and enjoy the benefits that come with progress.
If a driver pays to drive he should live up to his side of the agreement, however charming and likable he may be.
HRT was born premature but by all means they deserve a fighting chance to survive.

If they can qualify then just ensure they finish in Australia by turning things down(even if lapped 10 times) they will beat McLaren.

Despite the style being quite cool, the livery is a joke.

Nice paint job for the slowest car on the grid!

The wheels look very good with the outer white stripe combined with graphite inside.
That is a very nice signature touch please preserve it
Best of luck !

You know, I rather like it. This little team keeps showing up against all the odds and they are winning me over. I’ll root for the underdog this year, come on HRT!
That said, they look in better shape than Virgin to my eyes.

“This could be you” – really? I mean… REALLY?
Since when are you supposed to be openly proud of selling F1 drives to anyone with (not so) much money?
“Your logo here”? wow! That _is_ a new low.
Is that an F1 team or a car rental company?
Besides… For a livery that was designed by some fancy shmancy designer it looks rather tacky to me. And all the “speed” and “this is a cool spot” stickers give it the highly sought after appeal of a Chinese knockoff of a matchbox car ;D
I hope the car has at least some speed cause it looks pretty depressing, imho.

They are gonna miss the test entirely according to Autosport because their dampers are stuck in customs, bid shame for them.
Can’t help thinking most other teams would have someone on a plane with another set in their hand luggage.

this team is a joke
cant even test the car now!
i dont believe that the dampers are stuck in customs i bet they just didnt finish the car
STUNT

Nice look – shame they will be so poor and probably won’t qualify for some races under the reinstated % rule,
reluctantly predict they will be out of business come the end of the season…hope I’m wrong

I think HRT not making it into 107% margin in Melbourne is a good bet
…ghosts of 1997 MasterCard Lola lurking around…

Its gonna come last, but its gonna look damn cool doing it!

I know this is of topic but a couple of months back I saw a minardi f1 team lorry drive past carrying a tractor or digger on the trailer, I cant realy remember what it was but i was thinking so are minardi racing these types of vehicles now they aren’t in f1 anymore.

Well, I guess this certifies the battle between HRT and Marussia Virgin!
It’s a difficult one to call, but for some reason, I want the HRT to succeed in that forthcoming fight for 11th place.
…I would laugh though if HRT managed to sort out the tyre degradation problem of the Pirelli’s…obviously it’s completely ridiculous, but it would be hilarious!
