Encyclopedic overview
Bruno Senna completed 17 laps of the 2010 Bahrain Grand Prix before retiring with an overheating engine. Karun Chandhok recorded Hispania Racing's first finish with fourteenth position at the Australian Grand Prix. Sakon Yamamoto replaced Chandhok for the 2010 German Grand Prix. Bruno Senna continued to drive for the rest of the season after missing the 2010 British Grand Prix. He is seen here at the 2010 Belgian Grand Prix. HRT Formula 1 Team, formerly known as Campos Meta 1 and Hispania Racing, was a Spanish Formula One team founded by former driver Adrián Campos. It was sold to José Ramón Carabante before its debut in 2010, and then to investment group Thesan Capital in July 2011. It was the first Spanish team to race in Formula One; a previous effort known as "Bravo F1" failed to enter the sport in 1993.
In November 2012, HRT's owners announced that they were looking to sell the team. When they were unable to find a buyer before the deadline of 30 November, the team was subsequently omitted from the 2013 entry list.
