The 2010 technical review
AUTOSPORT's technical expert and former Jordan and Jaguar designer Gary Anderson takes a personal look back at the season just gone and discusses which teams took the right and wrong development paths during the year. In part one, Gary reviews the bottom half the grid.
Hispania Racing Team
Of the three new teams, I would probably put HRT as the best start-off design. The team hadn't turned a wheel when first practice began and were as expected at the back, but I believe the car concept it had, the basic Dallara chassis concept, had more opportunity for development than the other new teams.
But obviously by starting late and not sorting out Dallara's development direction it didn't go anywhere. Having the best potential for development doesn't mean anything if a miniscule budget stands in the way of it.
