Andy_Bangle Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 James Allen tweeted: Colleagues in Spain telling me HRT HQ is closing, all staff have redundancy notices. Sounds like that's it for them. 11 teams in 2013? Then confirmed by Mark French @ HRT: I'm afraid it's true. No buyer, no HRT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 Maybe someone is waiting for them to go to the wall and then scoop up the leftovers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_Bangle Posted November 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 I don't understand how people think they can get into this sport and be successful in the first few years. This is the big leagues... the top teams are literally sitting on years of R&D by the best engineers in the world. If you want to make a name for yourself in F1, you need to set your initial expectations pretty darn low, and prepare to lose a LOT of money in the process. That said will the next team be Force China or another Rich Saudi prince..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuprabob Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 There has veen a lot of talk about VW coming in in 2014 so maybe this is an opportunity for them or a KIA F1 team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 Did he scream it down his radio?! Some of these teams are in dream land. Perhaps they think they can set up and then got bought out by someone who wants a team but doesn't want to start from scratch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 In the live feed on tv, he was ranting down the radio. A different clip Andy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_Bangle Posted December 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 (edited) Well HRT have failed to find a buyer before the 2013 entry deadline, so two less cars on the grid next season.
