I saw that your cascade fell of from your car during the GP, maybe you should spend more time manufacturing your stuff so it actually stays on the car :P

Certainly the cascades kept falling off at Hungary 2011, but I don't remember seeing failures this year.

Is there any news or rumours on an upgrade schedule? I know PDLR mentioned one for Singapore, but surely they must have something for Monza.

I'd expect there canada spec to spa and monza. For them, it would make more sense then developing specific wings just for one race....the time and investment far out ways the gain - for them. imo. Then the upgrade at Singapore.

I would pay money to see them ATTEMPT to run the Canada spec wing at Spa. The lack of downforce would mean they'd be picking bits of car out the armco at Rivage, Pouhon, Fagnes or Stavelot. Most of HRT's updates seem to be concentrated on improving the internal cooling/ heat shielding of the car. I don't know how much performance they can extract from this hack chassis.

I forget, did they finally design their own chassis this year? The last couple of years I seem to remember they used an old 2008 Toyota one or something.

And in answer to your question, according to Perez Sala today anyway, they feel they are only at 50% of what the car do. The problem is that without a lot more money they don't have a prayer of extracting it!

I can't help but feel that they need a link-up with a bigger team similar to the Force India & McLaren arrangement. In 5 years FI have gone from backmarkers to consistant points finishers. HRT just seem like they desperately need a guiding hand now and then.
