Colin Kolles parts company with HRT F1 team

Colin Kolles will leave the HRT team after reaching an agreement to end their cooperation, the Spanish squad announced on Wednesday. The team said the move was "due to the new direction that the team has taken and the decision of the new management to move the team headquarters to Spain".

Kolles will leave the squad on December 15. He had been HRT's team principal for the past two seasons.

"HRT F1 Team would like to thank Dr. Colin Kolles for his work and dedication throughout these past two years and wish him the best in his future projects," said the team in a statement.
