2011 Formula 1 Season - Official Discussion Thread

HRT are set to announce a deal with Toyota on Monday that will allow the struggling squad the use of the TF110.

Won't the TF110 be out of date by then?

It'll be faster than their current car anyway

Yeah, I think my Volkswagen Beetle is faster than the HRT.

Well when you take out the joke ones, you have 7. And Yamamoto won't be used - he's only there for the money and HRT look to be financially secure now.

wasnt Villeneuve planning to join HRT with his team? I heard something like that

its very good to know that the new teams seem to improve a lot next year.
lotus is looking pretty good with the new technology and they started developing very early.
virgin wont improve that much I guess, but they seem to be secure at least
and HRT will be pretty good with the knowledge of Toyota who every year had a podium-car

Indeed. Plans never really got going though. And yes, future of the 3 new teams is looking bright!

[swca92]

Having knowledge of what will be a two year old car won't be much help, and anyway they have seconds to make up on the rest of the field. I struggle to see HRT being anymore than backmarkers again next year.

[Cromoseta]

Toyota said the TF110 could have been a podium or a winning car!
And I guess there will be persons from Toyota still working on the car for HRT, it's looking pretty bright for them to close the gap to the "old" teams

but indeed it could be a problem developing the car, I'm worried about that

[phil1993]

Well they can use the TF110 as a base and even if it is 2s slower than the best now, it's better than 6 or 7s. Plus they have more money now...

Because #13 is seen as a number that brings bad luck
