Vitantonio Liuzzi says points are possible for Hispania Racing Team in Australian Grand Prix
Formula 1 Hispania Racing Team driver Vitantonio Liuzzi has recently updated the media that, supportive points are possible for the team, if both drivers make the new F111 car reliable, into the Australian Grand Prix.
Liuzzi said that each driver always has a chance, to run with full of his efforts and put high scores, on the time-sheets, until the end of the race. Therefore, there is a chance for HRT team as well and they can complete their quick runs over the races.
All Formula 1 teams are ready to struggle for their car reliability, but HRT are still looking that if the package does not run well in Melbourne then both drivers Liuzzi and Narain Karthikeyan start normal testing procedure for upgraded chassis.
The Italian driver said that it is very important for him to understand how the car reacts and finish its initial race. He has believed that, as the new package has been installed with Cosworth engine and Williams’s gearbox, it will minimise the reliability
issues during the race.
The team missed out on the final Barcelona test, as their new package has been delayed due to some technical problems.
Liuzzi admitted that he is not worried about his car reliability because in terms of reliability, the team showed really good performance in 2010 season.
He went on to say, “We have to do tests that you would usually do when the car has its first miles, so in a way we are mixing a shakedown with a test. We have three hours on Friday to understand the reaction of everything - ride height, springs, dampers,
aero mapping and mechanical balance.”
He further added it is very important for the team to understand the new features under the dry weather so that everything works in the right way.
In the end, Liuzzi said he will try to complete as many laps as possible for his team during the 2011 Formula 1 season.
