The Hispania team will not conduct any pre-season testing prior to the first grand prix of the season in Australia, after certain parts of their car failed to arrive at the circuit today.
The team had hoped to run on Friday after launching their F111 in the Barcelona pit-lane. However a delay at customs meant they couldn’t take to the track, nor will they run on Saturday either.
“Unfortunately we could not get the dampers out of customs,” said team principal Colin Kolles. “The result of this is that we can’t run tomorrow.
“This is life and we will overcome this problem.”
The Spanish outfit suffered a similar fate in 2010 when they failed to attend any pre-season tests.
