Hispania Racing Team aims to beat Virgin in Turkey race – Formula 1


Formula 1: Hispania Racing Team principal, Colin Kolles, has recently updated the media that they aimed to beat the Virgin team in the up-coming race of 2011 season. He added that Virgin was ahead of HRT in the China race but it is possible to catch up to them in Turkey.

The reporters also informed that HRT Chief, Geoff Willis, is still busy, working hard and making improvements to the new ‘F111’ car. However, the team has planned to verify these upgrades in Friday free practice at Istanbul Park, on May 6, 2011.

The team principal discussed the updates which included both, mechanical and aerodynamic, aspects of the F111 car. He said that they can hope for a good show in the Turkish Grand Prix because of these updates.

He went on to say, "I believe that the Turkish Grand Prix should see Hispania Racing take the next step. Istanbul Park is a track that, due to its nature, should be favourable for us. Add to that, the fact that we have aerodynamic and mechanical updates for this race and I think that, if the data is confirmed on track, we should be able to beat our closest rivals”.

HRT had a very disappointing start to the 2011 season but they are still busy, focusing on the improvements in their performance and working hard for their positive results.
