F1 cars: Hispania Racing Team HRT

The last of the 2010 F1 challengers to be revealed. The Hispania Racing Team (formerly Campos Meta) hasn't run their car at any of the preseason tests, and are apparently going to show up in Bahrain in a week. They're the last team (and the last of the new teams) to reveal their car, now that USF1 and StephanGP have both been conclusively denied entry this year.

So, without testing, they're probably going to be slower than poo. And lucky to finish a race.

The HRT will be driven by Bruno Senna (Nephew of the late triple World Champion Ayrton Senna, who may be driving in this team solely due to the "Senna" name), and Karun Chandhok (Bruno Senna's former (less successful) teammate in GP2 in 2008).



Looks like poo. Gonna drive like poo. Doesn't spell well for their chances.

Also, is it a bad thing that every other car has some sort of number following it (implying that their car is part of a series), while this one is just the HRT. Does that indicate how likely they are to be competing by the end of this season and into the next one?

Not competing at all! I do kinda like the whole wicked pointy finger look that the white lines along the 'nose' give.
