If that was the case why didnt they run starting the second test day?

+1

At least, let us see the actual car. A couple of pictures will be enough

A few pics would now be good enough for me.

Yes there isn't any reason to hold back anymore, it would only be for the sake of a good PR. I guess we will have to wait until Monday.

Yes maybe in the afternoon. For the filming day who is going to actually be doing the filming? Will that be Antena 3 or some one hired by HRT.

Good thing filming days are allowed. Judging from what has happened in previous years I think the FIA would now look at banning filming days 2 days before the opening race.

It is easier: they pick some guy from Montmeló, gave him a camera and that's the film day :lol:

If Ferrari does that... :twisted:

The filming day isnt too bad, we started with the F112 two months later than Marussia and we are an absolutely new team, so whatever we will do on monday ill be happy, the team effort is incredible.

Yes when you put it in that perspective then what HRT does this year isn't as bad as it looks , it is still a big achievement. One thing is for sure this cannot happen again next year, hrt have to start their new car by June/July and aim to finish by January because it looks like small teams take much longer. What I am worried about is why have Marussia taken such a long time, have they put so much effort in their new car that it will be way ahead of us. I wonder how many upgrades HRT are planning this year!

Interesting, so that's a confirmation that you're working for HRT?

How much longer is HRT going to be an "absolutely new" team? Likewise, when can we start saying that HRT is like an eight-year-old still being pushed around in a stroller?

EDIT: Hey, I just noticed that I've become a Champion.

So what do HRT and I now have in common? Evidently nothing. :)

Of course that is a good point, but evidently they have had 3 ownerships changes, and article was posted re what the previous owners had left, which was nothing as Kolles rented everything to Hispania at the time.

The Carabantes who owned the team had no common sense to push things through.

Oh, I think it's quite obvious that this team has been saddled with bad decisions from the very beginning. But, I also think it's obvious that this team has made no discernible improvement whatsoever throughout its two-plus years of existence.

I mean, you'd think they'd at least have lucked into something, anything, by now. Instead, they're going to show up to the first race of the season with a car that's never once turned a wheel, and thus maintain a perfect 100% rate of failure to do otherwise.
