Hispania, which last week confirmed Narain Karthikeyan as one of its drivers for this season, has revealed that it has quit FOTA, the teams' alliance.
Speaking today, a spokeswoman for the Spanish outfit confirmed that it quit the Formula One Teams' Association in the middle of last month.
"We left FOTA around December 15," she said. "For our interests it is better not to be there. It's more for the big teams than the small ones."
The Spanish outfit's decision to quit the alliance comes at a time when there is continued speculation as to its future, with no talk of who will drive the second car this season or even when it will be unveiled.
However, team boss Colin Kolles insists that all is well and that the team will attend all the pre-season tests.
