Useful day for HRT
Hispania Racing, HRT F1 Team is back into action in Spa-Francorchamps with the typical weather conditions in the Ardennes. After a wet and rainy first practice session in the morning, Bruno Senna finished in position 22 (2.07.737) and Sakon Yamamoto (2.10.507) was 24th.
In the afternoon, it dried up and the track got quicker. Consequently, both Hispania Racing, HRT F1 Team drivers improved and clocked their best lap times of 1.55.751 for Bruno Senna (22nd) and 1.56.039 for Sakon Yamamoto (23rd) in the last minutes of the session.
Dr Colin Kolles, Team Principal: “It was a useful day for our team with the typical weather here in Spa under difficult conditions. We could run many laps and both drivers got a lot of track time. This was very important, as it prepared us for racing on the wet track, but also when it is drying up. Sakon Yamamoto stopped his car at the end of the second practice because of an alarm message displayed on his dash board and to avoid further damage. We got a lot of experience today and we will see, what awaits for us tomorrow.”
