Hispania Racing did good this winter and finally we have the first glimpse of how they new car will look like. Although they will not participate in Jerez testing but instead going to Monza and help Pirelli in filming some footage for their promotional campaign Hispania will show the new car in “flesh” on first days of practice in Bahrain.
Jose Ramon Carabante, Hispania Racing President, stated: “We feel really proud of the car, our drivers will run this forthcoming season. Despite a challenging first year, we managed to finish on the eleventh position in the World Constructors Championship. Now, we are very pleased to introduce the first spec of the F111, which means a huge design-effort from our side. This is only a first step as we are planning several updates during the season.”
Colin Kolles, Team Principal of Hispania Racing, “The F111 represents a significant step forward for Hispania Racing. We have made a big improvement for starting our second season in Formula 1 and what you see in our new car confirms Hispania Racing´s commitment to F1.” Colin Kolles also reveals that “the F111 will incorporate the adjustable rear wing.” Daniel Simon who was responsible for the livery of the car, has perfectly expressed the combination of his personal ideas and those of Hispania Racing. Colin Kolles: “Daniel has created a wonderfully confident look for our new car which really captures the effort the whole team has put into developing the F111. The car design and the graphic design perfectly complement one another and mark the real beginnings of our ambitions.”
Daniel is today one of the most imaginative and adventurous designers in both Hollywood and the motor industry. Although he and his label Cosmic Motor live mostly in the future, he also has a strong passion for motor racings bold iconic liveries from the past, and he has drawn inspiration of them in creating Hispania Racing´s new livery. “I miss fearless visual statements and large beautiful numbers on today´s racing cars.”
I must say I like the looks of this car and if the new drivers will perform well I think we might be in a big surprise from this team in 2011 season, it would be great for Formula1 too to have more competitive teams out there, not just the big sharks.
