A new formula one team could rise from the ashes of the failed Spanish outfit HRT.<\/p>\n
Reports – including in the Spanish newspaper AS – claim a group of investors from Canada and the US want to enter this year’s world championship with an evolution of HRT’s 2012 car, featuring a Cosworth engine and Williams gearbox.<\/p>\n
The team is reportedly called Scorpion Racing, and the Press Association said it would be based at Silverstone and operate with equipment bought from HRT.<\/p>\n
But there could be an issue with getting up and running for 2013, given that the official entry deadline for this season’s championship closed last November.<\/p>\n
Bernie Ecclestone is quoted as saying: “I’ve spoken to them and told them to get in touch with the FIA and ask for an entry.<\/p>\n
“They want to buy all the bits from HRT, then form a company and ask for an entry, but I personally don’t think it will happen.\u00a0 It’s all a bit too late.\u00a0 Maybe they could do it for next year.”<\/p>\n
The Press Association said the FIA did not want to respond in detail until it receives more ‘concrete’ information from Scorpion.<\/p>\n
