Chandhok to miss Hungarian GP

27/07/2010

For the second successive race, Sakon Yamamoto will replace Karun Chandok in the second Hispania car.

At Silverstone Bruno Senna was dropped at the eleventh hour, leading to various stories on the internet including claims of critical e-mails being mistakenly sent to team boss Colin Kolles.

However, with Yamamoto replacing Chandhok in Germany, speculation focussed on financial problems within the Spanish team which is currently said to be in talks with Toyota.

Speaking last weekend, Chandhok said he hoped to back in the car for the Hungaroring race, admitting that there is no firm structure in place - in terms of driver line-up - for the remainder of the weekend.

However, with Christian Klien an official test driver for the team, but not showing any sign of actually racing the car, one has to surmise that the reason for the ever changing line up is money, something that Yamamoto appears to have in abundance.
