Race debut at Silverstone: Ricciardo travels in England for Hispania


Red bull borrows from his junior Daniel Ricciardo to Hispania, so the Australian driving experience. Still, it is not clear whether Narain Karthikeyan or Tonio Liuzzi at Silverstone must pause.

Daniel Ricciardo finally gets the chance to show his talent in the race. Until now, was the Red Bull junior from Perth only when test driving and in the Friday training for Toro Rosso in use. Now, the youngster will finally be used in the race. However, Ricciardo is not one of the root pilots at Toro Rosso replace, but in a Hispania car ride.
Red bull Advisor Helmut Marko has with HRT team principal Colin Kolles a deal drafted, which allows the young talent the first racing in formula one. Although Hispania confirmed only use in the next Grand Prix at Silverstone, is to assume that it will be not in the England-race.
"Live the dream was - the first time on the grid", was the runner-up of the Renault world series 2010. happy "I had to pinch myself even a couple of times, me to ensure that it is actually true." I am excited and can't wait to drive at Silverstone. "This is a new challenge, a new experience, a new team - but I am ready and will do my best at each event."
In addition to the duration of the commitment, Hispania left also open, who must now suspend for Ricciardo. Tonio Liuzzi was the HRT fastest this season, Narain Karthikeyan for it brought more sponsorships and has an agreement for the whole season. It seems only secured that Karthikeyan will be at his home race in Delhi. Everything else is also a question of money.
Also, it is unclear how much is Red Bull which Ricciardos cost hours. However, the urgent action shows three races before the summer break that their talent wants to be sure see the Motorsport executives of the energy drink manufacturer in practice. Actually, it was assumed that Jaime Alguersuari must remove his Toro Rosso cockpit first. But with two point placement last the Spaniard could draw again his head from the loop.
The elaborately forced debut clearly suggests that Red Bull the driver Executive of his team for the upcoming season will be rebuilt. One of the question mark is still behind the possible resignation of Mark Webber's after the season. Behind Sebastien Buemi waits now three years with the "Rookie" team Toro Rosso on the rise. In addition to Ricciardo Red Bull with Frenchman Jean-Eric Vergne a second Junior talent in the hindquarters.
