HRT F1 Team, Hispania Racing, and Italian chassis manufacturer Dallara Automobili S.p.A have together agreed on amicable terms not to pursue their collaboration.

The decision follows talks held over the last few months about the future of their collaboration.

In a press release issued on Wednesday, the two partners underline the challenging start to the 2010 F1 World Championship season, where everyone worked extremely hard in a fight against time to be ready for the season opener at Bahrain.

“Since its inaugural race HRT F1 Team, Hispania Racing, has completed six rounds of the 2010 Formula 1™ World Championship despite the fact that in all this time no further chassis development was made by Dallara.”

Technical consultant Geoff Willis and test driver Christian Klien were both scathing about Dallara's chassis.

Following this, HRT F1 Team and Dallara Automobili S.p.A have agreed that what they have achieved in such a short period of time was more than could have been reasonably expected. The two parties wish each other the best of luck in all future endeavours.

HRT F1 Team, Hispania Racing will continue to develop and improve the Dallara designed F110 chassis via its own development program.
