HRT will probably be gone this time in the next 24-48 hours!
It may be that 20 is in fact Kovalinen, now that Caterham have managed to secure their extra €10-15m
And id take the extra €16m that Van Der Garde brings as well. What would you have, KOV paid €2m a year with the €35m from FOM and €22m from PIC and extra money from Visa that is rumored to be on its way or all that, but KOV but VDG and his €16m.
Id be taking the VDG money and running, then developing the car for say half a dozen tracks for 2013 in order to perceive a much better performance in 2013. The more money you have the better the team can engineer the 2014 car, whitch then they could make a proper and full impact on the mid pack.
