HRT Forced To Delay Scrutineering

After suffering an extremely difficult winter period, HRT are now struggling to complete Pedro De La Rosa’s car in preparation for the scrutineering ahead this weekends season-opening Australian Grand Prix. This has forced the team to request a delay of the scrutineering, which is required before the car takes to the track this weekend.

With HRT struggling to get their car on track during pre-season testing, it seems their woes are set to continue. The car is question is car number 22, which will hopefully be driven by Spaniard Pedro De La Rosa, and has had it’s scrutineering from the Australian Grand Prix race stewards postponed until 11am Friday morning. If all goes well, the car will then hopefully take to the track later in the day for free practice.

Formula 1 veteran Pedro De La Rosa will hopefully start his 87th Grand Prix this weekend, after making his debut at the same venue back in 1999 for Arrows. The Spaniard will be joined by Indian driver Narain Karthikeyan, who was replaced at HRT by Daniel Ricciardo halfway through last season, and will be hoping history does not repeat itself.
