Liuzzi: I have a long-term HRT contract

10 November 2011
2011 Abu Dhabi Formula 1 Grand Prix: Thursday

Vitantonio Liuzzi has reiterated that he has a ‘long-term’ contract with HRT and will not be moving teams between the 2011 and 2012 Formula 1 seasons. Although the squad’s ownership may have altered since the start of the current campaign, the Italian is fully confident that he will be staying put.

No longer owned by José Ramón Carabante’s Hispania company, the Murcia-based outfit is now controlled by Spanish investment firm the Thesan Group.

“I have to say the team is changing,” Liuzzi began to explain on Thursday. “The structure is improving all the time and I think there are a lot of changes for next year, on-going across the next month. I think the structure has improved a lot during the 2011 season and we are now focussed on 2012.

“We want to improve and get better in the field and I feel these changes are going in the right direction. There is still nothing completely clear about how the line-up will be for next year, in terms of the setup of the team, but I think we are going forward.”

When asked to clarify his own position, Liuzzi replied:

“I have always said that I have a long-term contract with the team. We started this adventure and we knew that it could not just be a one-year situation, if we wanted to improve. The team hired me to help them develop and bring experience and I think everything is going well and looking positive, so there is not much to say about it.”
