9/3/11,

The Italian would be finally the teammate of Narain Karthikeyan in the season of 2011!!

Hispania Racing announced its agreement with Tonio Liuzzi for the world championship of the 2011. The experienced Italian was eventually chosen for the Spanish team for the position of the partner of Narain Karthikeyan, in a ''marriage'' which we expected to be confirmed from hour to hour. So the 29-year old would normally find the first occurrence of new car, the F111, which is expected to occur at midday on Friday. 

"I am very happy that I signed a contract with Hispania Racing. I never lost hope that I will be in Formula 1 in 2011 and I have the experience and the skills which are needed to a new and ambitious team. I have before me a new challenge with enthusiasm. Furthermore, I have a lot of work, guiding the Hispania in the evolution of our car. I want to thank Jose Ramon Carabante and Colin Kolles, who give me this opportunity, "said Liuzzi. 

The Italian lost this year in the position of Force India, had trials with HRT in the previous test, which was held in Barcelona, and apparently convinced the administration of the Spanish team. Besides, Kolles knew him well from their joint office in Vijay Mallya's team and beyond. 

"I know Tonio for many years and he has run for me in smaller classes. He is a professional guide and he will surely greatly help our team. I am confident in the abilities of the evolution of a car but also its speed. It has been shown both of these in the past, contributing to the promotion of cars that were in the tail of the grid. I am delighted to be working again and I'm proud to be running for Hispania Racing », said the head director of the Spanish team.
