I completely agree it’s a miracle that HRT manor and Lotus/Caterham Lasted as long as they did Nope, to mention Bernie Eccleston said in 2010, three new teens are the biggest disgrace F1 in history Or something along those lines, and after I heard that it’s like excuse me what You literally sold all three of them on a lie Promising a budget cap that you know damn well the other teams wouldn’t agree to of $40 million and expecting them to be competitive with $40-$15 million. Yeah right Only reason why that didn’t go through because Ferrari I know for a fact has veto powers where they can literally deny any change to the rules that they don’t like And the other teams on the grid, including Toyota BMW, Sauber Renault and three other teams all voted against it. I think Toyota shouldn’t have been allowed to veto against that considering they left in the end But it’s amazing how competitive they were against themselves manor Was very very close to surviving 2016 And unlike haas manor Tried everything to improve they just didn’t have the money Just imagine if manor HRT or Caterham Actually had a lot of funding in the end would they have survived longer if people decided to take a chance on a back market team back in 2010 to 2016 I’ve got into the sport in 2018, because of the F1 masters game I’ve never ever heard of HRT, Lotus/caterham or Virgin Maruia/manor Until 2021 or was it 2022 But after hearing their backstory since I have a 2021 or 2022, I love all three of them

The lie that they were sold was back in 2009. There was a proposed cost cap due to the financial crisis brought on by the Lehman Brothers, so the FIA And I believe Bernie Eccleston, I’m most likely wrong Came up with the proposed idea of the cost cap being $40 million Toyota Williams, BMW Sauber Toro Rosso Sahara, Force India McLaren brawn Ferrari Renault redbull Flat out, rejected that idea which then started an internal war due to other reasons as well which spiralled out of control and by the end of the season. Toyota already said they’re leaving Renault sold the team, so they were leaving the sport but still going to supply engines So you had the three new teams, HRT Marusha Lotus/Caterham Joining the team and already signed up for a false lie of $40 million, assuming that they were going to be at least extremely competitive and very decent Instead, the other team still had around budgets of $100 million to a whopping $500 million. I think maybe one team might’ve been operating at $80 million. I could be Wrong, though, most likely am So they joined the team HRT had $15 million. I don’t know about virgin Marisha or Caterham how much money they had, but I would guess hypothetically Marusha would be around $40-$20 million. Caterham $60-$30 million maybe less. So hence why they all struggled. It was a miracle that any of the teams lasted more than three seasons. It was a miracle that any of them were able to last into the V6 turbo Hybrid era It was an extremely miracle situation That manor Was able to stay in the sport seven season

I’m 19 and got into F1 at the back end of 2007. I remember Lewis and Button winning their titles respectively, but then a few of my first vivid memories of F1 was when Truli went over the back of Chandhok and seeing a Senna back on the grid. From then on, I was a HRT fan and always used to pick them and the cucumber in the F1 games as well as support them in the races. Nice to see Karun and Daniel are still in the sport and have had decent careers for themselves as well as Campos in F2, so the legend lives on!

This comment is underrated.

I loved the gunmetal HRT livery, the stripes remind me of something out of the 80s or early 90s. I miss when the three minnows had their own race going on, just added another element. Plus they provided seats for anonymous drivers like Charles Pic or Jérôme d'Ambrosio and gave random drivers like Klein, Yamamoto and Karthikeyan drives too!

I think that remember HRT as one of the worst teams of F1 is a little bit unfair. They were far better than the likes o Andrea Moda or Life an other teams like those from late 80'/early 90', far more professional. They started with troubles when F1 broke their cost cap deal, and they started in an era that reliability was starting to be top notch, so they couldn't take profit of that either to end in better positions. But at least they qualified in almost every GP, they bring some fight to the backmarker group, and make it work somehow with a very small crew and budget. Was sub-optimal, but I think it could have been much worst seeing other teams from the past.

Just wanted to thank you for all the effort that goes into your vids. . As a huge participant in many forms of motor sport in Australia, i enjoy knowing the heritage of teams. lord knows why, i just like the history of teams.

I just had your channel with this video recommended to me. All I can say is the level of detail and concise information are outstanding. Thank you so much for posting this, I’m subscribing to your channel. Amazing work!!!

I was a huge fan of the 3 new Teams in 2010. I got into F1 in 2009 and played F1 2006 for the PS2 a lot, and that season also had 3 new teams come in which you had to start your career mode with. Never cared how slow they where, I was always happy to support them when they got close to the points. The music you chose for this video is great btw! Makes me fell all nostalgig for some reason haha

now F1 wont allow more than 10 teams in F1 and yet it can handle 13 teams.

Thanks for the video. That’s quite a piece of work and an amazing and thoughtful insight into one of the teams at the back. Impressive. ❤

Great video, I can’t imagine the amount of grinding it took to make this. Liked and subscribed

I always liked the look of the car 2012 when I was a kid

Man knowing HRT story I think back to how different their fortunes would've been if they hadn't split with dallara in 2010, could we have seen them be the top dog in the battle of the new teams once those proposed 2010 major upgrades came in from dallara. And could they sustainability stay in front of the other two with dallara's help? In an alternate universe it's HRT that stayed in the sport till 2016 and not Virgin/marussia/manor.

Nailed it, easily my favourite of your videos.

HRT is always, somewhat unfairly, I think, labeled the worst F1 team in history. However, despite definitely being the worst of the 2010s and possibly, depending on what you’re looking for, of the 21st century, but at least it was making it to the venues at all. It’s nowhere near the political shambles of Andrea Moda, or the sheer lack of pace that Life demonstrated. I’d argue that it’s even better than teams like Monteverdi (Rebranding of the Onyx team which moved to Switzerland from the UK base overnight, miffing most of the staff, and fired many personnel behind their backs, to be replaced by people with much less experience, coming to a head in one infamous incident where the team managed to install JJ Lehto’s driveshaft backwards. HRT at worst would only be around lower top 10 if you were to go over the worst F1 teams of all time.

HRT's first season lineup should've been Klien as n°1 driver and Senna as the 2nd driver all season long. Results could and would've been better than with both Chandhok and Yamamoto.

Hi. I don’t know from which source you get that ending info about Josef Král’s contract but I saw an interview with him (in Czech) and he claimed something different. I try tu summarised it (source EisKing #19, 1:03:30): Basically he had contract offer from HRT and was given 3 days to signing and to bring 5 000 000 € advance. He had partners, sponsors and money so it was only on terms on contract. They were according to him like from the dream. But he had also some behind the scenes info that HRT is in its end and situation is really bad. He had bad feeling about it. So he refused and 14 day later HRT went bankrupt. FUN facts about Král and how his journey continued. From 2013 he became a TV commentator and expert for Czech and Slovak TV broadcast of F1. Later in 2016 he returned to racing in the GT series Endurence Cup for Scuderia Praha. Later in 2018 he with his fellow F1 commentator Štěvo Eisele started KZread show EisKing (Král means King in english) centered around F1, its current topics and later discusion after race debriefings. EisKing later began had its own roadshown, where they managed to have guests like David Coultard or Mika Hakkinen (both shows are on KZread, Hakkinen's even with english subtitles). And from 2024 they both are together with Pavel Fabry main commentators for F1 TV broadcast in the Czechia and Slovakia.

They were such an unlucky team and it just shows that how cruel luck is when you don't have the resources.
