HRT will not compete in Formula One next season after failing to submit an application for the 2013 season by Friday’s deadline.
The official FIA entry list for the 2013 F1 season includes just 11 teams; Red Bull, Ferrari, McLaren, Lotus, Mercedes, Sauber, Force India, Williams, Toro Rosso, Caterham and Marussia.
The news doesn’t come as a surprise given the team was recently put up for sale for by its owners Thesan Capital. A buyer hasn’t been found despite speculated interest from two parties.
The list (below) has several entries with unconfirmed drivers, however some have been confirmed following their application dates.
Sauber have confirmed Nico Hulkenberg and Esteban Gutierrez, Caterham have confirmed Charles Pic whilst Toro Rosso will retain Jean-Eric Vergna dn Daniel Ricciardo.
Red Bull have also confirmed their team name will be Infiniti Red Bull Racing following a title sponsor deal with the car manufacturer.
