Actually they started designing the 2012 car as late as September. And that was due to the change of ownership and the fact that upgrading the 2010 Dallara wasn't really an option anymore. Yes they are late, and probably short of money aswell, but i still see these changes as a positive step towards being a proper F1 team. You know, design your own car, have a long term plan etc. For the last two years they have only been trying to survive, but now i feel like they have a proper plan for the future and are working very hard to get there. I think Sala already said, that it's gonna take some time to make real progress. We have to wait and see, but atm i don't believe any of the talk about them not being ready come Melbourne.astracrazy wrote:what goes on with this team, why is every pre-season the same? Ok, there first year we can perhaps let them off. But since, they seem to start development earlier and earlier yet the car still gets finished late....
That was sarcasm!!wesley123 wrote:I don't see in what way that looks good? Nothing special really...
Only because in two years we didnt have any news about the team and in two months we know a lot about the new car and the team and for the FANS is something good.wesley123 wrote:I don't see in what way that looks good? Nothing special really...
Jeh good point but Marussia have util this year Mclaren suport... and quite well financial statusTrocola wrote:Hi everybody. I'm new on this forum. I am Spanish, so sorry in advance for my poor English. Just some things to say about HRT:
1.- They have ended 11th on both F1 seasons they have been
2.- They say that on the first test they will have last years car and for the second and third, the new car
On the other hand there is Marussia:
1.- They have ended last on both F1 seasons they have been
2.- They said a couple of days ago that they won't be on the first test, they will have last year car on the second test and they will bring the new car for the last test
Comparing both teams: Why is HRT doom (and the worst thing ever happened to F1) and not Marussia?
Trocola
Because when Marusia have said "this is what we'll do" it's what they've done; by contrast, when HRT have said in the past "we'll make the first test", they've meant "we won't have a car ready for the first race, and we'll get lucky that it's cancelled".Trocola wrote:Hi everybody.

Which team designed a car with a petrol tank so small that they had to redesign the entire tube to be able to end a race? Virgin or HRT?beelsebob wrote: Because when Marusia have said "this is what we'll do" it's what they've done; by contrast, when HRT have said in the past "we'll make the first test", they've meant "we won't have a car ready for the first race, and we'll get lucky that it's cancelled".

Which team appeared on a test on Jerez and had to withdraw from it because its front wing broke without any reason? Virgin or HRT?
Which team was given false Fuel specs? Yes Virgin. Also it is tub not tube.Which team designed a car with a petrol tank so small that they had to redesign the entire tube to be able to end a race? Virgin or HRT?
Which team wasn't even there at the test because it's organisation was crappy and no one wanted to sponsor it?Which team appeared on a test on Jerez and had to withdraw from it because its front wing broke without any reason? Virgin or HRT?
Take a look at Minardi and HRT, compare them both. Just to let you know; Minardi was actually ready in the time promised, Minardi had less money and Minardi showed passion for the sport. HRT for example make the sport look like a joke, exchanged hands 3 times already, their organisation is laughable and barely anyone wants to have their logo on the HRT.Minardi appeared all years in Melbourne with a horrible car, without testing it, but they are still remembered for being there, because F1 needed those kind of teams. With HRT it's just the opposite. That's weird...
