Difficult Friday ahead for Hispania Racing Team
|
09 March 2010 @ 07:00 GMT - Max Moore The Hispania Racing Team (HRT) has signed India's Karun Chandhok for the 2010 F1 season. F1's commercial rights holder Bernie Ecclestone has welcomed him to the sport and was instrumental in brokering the rescue package for the former Campos team. The outfit was taken over by Jose Ramon Carabante and new team boss Colin Kolles. Chandhok will drive alongside fellow GP2 race winner Bruno Senna in 2010. Ecclestone said India is among the most important and powerful players in the world of business culture and sport. "Bernie has always been a superb pillar of support to me and my family," Chandhok said. "It's amazing how much that man (Ecclestone) can do in a single day!" Chandhok added. It's going to be a difficult Friday for the HRT team with two rookie drivers and a car that has never turned a wheel. "Of course everyone wants to drive for a top team, but if the opportunity isn't there you have to evaluate the options. Undoubtedly I would rather be racing for HRT than a test driver somewhere else under the new regulations," he said. |
