They had an entrance the year before and blew it. Plus I would never trust Dave Richards. Pro-Drive should not be allowed in. They had an entrance the year before and blew it.

Basically everyone we've lost. They should just do engines.

I may be wrong.It doesn't change my original point about Eastern Europe though. After all would, say, an Austrian fan support a Spanish driver just because they were both Western European?

I don't necessarily disagree (or agree) that the rules should be changed, just that HRT shouldn't be punished retrospectively on a new rule. As everyone else, the car will have to be approved for safety in terms of crash structure etc.James or anyone- is there any reason HRT couldn't at least do a shakedown somewhere? Lotus and Ferrari both did away from official tests.

There are so many people here who knew that some of the new teams wouldn't make it. Wow if only the FIA had had their insight. The FIA should surely use this website for recruitment.
