They have nothing - no money, very little resources, and Spain isn't a country renound for its excellent Automotive Engineering industry, they didn't even do testing, and so many peopl thought they would fail to qualify for half the grand prixs (everyone seemingly forgot they beat virgin racing in the WCC in 2010), and yet with that nothingness, they managed to build a car that is capable of doing decently! If you gave McLaren or Ferrari or Red Bull the amount of money HRT have, their cars would be nowhere near the pace of the HRT! And once again, they've beaten virgin racing who have millions and millions and millions on pounds of monies and resources from beardy Bransons pocket. Big respect to HRT, because they bloody well deserve it.
Anyway, my fail is Felipe. I don't know why 8 people have voted Lewis and only one more Felipe when Lewis has won three races this season and got podiums. Vitaly Petrov and Nick Heidfeld, who isn't even in the sport anymore, have got more podiums then Felipe. Nando has won a race so it's not a case of the car being off pace. Felipe has had two and a half years now - it's been hard on him, but two and a half years is a long time, he can't use his accident as an excuse anymore. Driving a Ferrari and not getting a single podium all year - he should be disappointed and I think he should quit now - quit whilst he's ahead. It's what he keeps telling Rubio, but he should take some of his own advice, because I don't think he's gonna get any better, and to spend another year not getting podiums is a Ferrari is just going to make him look awful, which is not what he should be remembered for. I don't want to see that of any driver.
