The Formula 1 season kicks off this weekend in Bahrain and it is one of the most eagerly anticipated seasons ever. Lotus and Virgin Racing make their Formula one debut but it is somewhat a minor miracle that Hispania are joining them on the grid. Hispania haven’t tested their car at all so It’s impossible [...]
