'Special' wing for HRT

'Special' wing for HRT

Having recorded their best showing of the season in Monaco, HRT are bringing a little something extra to Canada as they look to consolidate their position.

Narain Karthikeyan came home in 15th place at the principality, and despite being two laps down at the end, the team were happy to see the Indian driver go the distance.

On the back of this momentum, HRT head to Canada looking for a repeat of last season's performance where they notched up their best ever result, a 13th place from Vitantonio Liuzzi.

While Liuzzi was helped by the chaos that ensued from the heavy rain, the Spanish outfit have something extra in their arsenal as they attempt to repeat the feat.

"Our weakest point is quick corners and there aren't many here. Our biggest handicap could be not having KERS, but we've brought a special rear wing for this circuit which we hope will make us more competitive," explained team boss Luis Perez-Sala.

"We're bringing a new low-downforce rear wing, specially designed for Canada, and intending on continuing with the progress shown in Monaco. After retiring in Monaco, I'm even hungrier to achieve a good result in Canada," added Pedro de la Rosa.
