The new HRT F1 Team is born in Murcia, commented businessman Carabante, whose squad takes the name of his Grupo Hispania Company. I am arrogant to welcome you to Murcia, where the team has its roots, and to have given to my country the pride of the first ever Spanish Formula 1 team. The name of the team contains the word Hispania, which is not only the name of one of my companies but also the Roman name for the Iberian Peninsula - that reflects our team's new identity.
Similar to man debutants Lotus and Virgin Racing, as well as Williams, Hispania is powered by Cosworth engines this year.
