HRT F1 unveils 2010 F1 car in Spain 

The HRT F1 team, the first Spanish team in Formula One, unveiled today in Murcia, Spain its first Formula 1 single seater.

Team owner Jose Ramon Carabante was joined by team principal Colin Kolles and drivers Bruno Senna and Karun Chandhok to take the wraps off the car in a low key launch event.

“I am excited by our driver line-up and the amazing effort and passion I have witnessed from our entire team to get us to this point,” said Kolles during the launch. “Everything is now in place after an impossible race against time to register the team’s name and I truly believe that we have an excellent platform to build on and move forward for a strong 2010 performance. Now, we need to work together. We need to learn together and keep developing as a team.”

“The new HRT F1 Team, Hispania Racing F1 Team is born in Murcia. I am proud to welcome you in Murcia where the team has its roots and to have given to my country the pride of the first ever Spanish Formula 1 team,” added HRT F1 owner Jose Ramon Carabante.

“The name of the team contains the word Hispania, which is not only the name of one of my companies, but Hispania was also the Roman name for the Iberian Peninsula. That reflects now our team’s new identity. 2010 will be a major debut for the team and drivers at the wheel of our HRT F1 Team car.”
