Q&A with Colin Kolles

Hispania team boss Colin Kolles shares his thoughts on the team's improvements, their financial situation and their goals for the Championship.

Q: The team has improved a lot from the first race in Bahrain until today…
CK: Yes, the team is becoming more and more one unit and we are making progress.

Q: The Belgium race was the 13th of the season. What can you say about the performance of your drivers?
CK: I think that both drivers are doing a good job. We had the best qualifying result in Spa so far and Sakon's lap times were at the same level as Kovalainen's and Glock's in the race. I think there is no reason to make any changes so far.

Q: Now, there are more sponsors logos on the car. What do you think about this?
CK: Obviously this is a positive sign but we have to work hard to get as much sponsorship as possible for 2011.

Q: Are you proud of the members of your team and the job they are doing to get the car on the grid at every race?
CK: I am very proud because we cannot say that we had an optimal preseason preparation. I think they are doing a fantastic job.

Q: How is the financial situation of the team?
CK: With more sponsors on board the situation is improving. As I mentioned before, in F1 you need a lot of support and this is what we are trying to achieve.

Q: What are your expectations for the upcoming race in Monza?
CK: Monza is a special race with the highest top speeds. So far we were quite competitive on circuits were high downforce levels are not required.

Q: Where do you think Hispania Racing, HRT F1 team will end up at the last races of the season?
CK: We push to end up in 10th position in the Constructors' Championship.
