The 2010 Formula 1 season has almost taken shape, with the FIA publishing another entry list, the only unknown now being the second HRT F1 Team driver. Yes, HRT F1 Team, short for Hispania Racing F1 Team. Or, as many have already pointed out, Hormone Replacement Therapy. It is, of course, what was Campos, and Jose Ramon Carabante wanted to name it after one of his other companies. But why not, then, just Hispania? Much less stupid. But it’s not my favourite thing on the entry list. No, that’s the constructor BMW Sauber Ferrari. How, exactly, is that satisfactory for any of the three parties involved – BMW, Sauber, or Ferrari? Campos managed to be renamed with much less notice, so why is the BMW name still there? Madness. The other entry list news is that US F1 definitely isn’t racing this year – hardly news, I know – and that there will not be a replacement team. In other words, Stefan GP won’t be racing either. No, instead there will be another selection process for a new team in 2011. The FIA is getting better at selecting teams: only Virgin Racing really made it out of the first three, but Lotus was clearly a good choice second time round. And of course this new selection process gives Prodrive a chance to fail to get into Formula 1 for a fourth time in recent years. There is 1 comment
