Victor Mendez explained that it was departed HRT team founder Adrian Campos who commissioned the trucks.

"We had a first meeting with (new owner) Jose Ramon Carabante, who assured us he would fix everything. But from then we had meeting after meeting, the last a few weeks ago at the Montmelo test, and no solution is reached. We have nothing signed, but plenty of documentation that proves everything was commissioned by them (HRT)," he concluded.

After the Melbourne debacle, team boss Colin Kolles said he is confident the Cosworth-powered F111 will have a better outing at Sepang this weekend.

It also emerged at Sepang on Thursday that the car's 2011-specification wing has passed the FIA crash test and is being shipped from Europe.

"We know that the car has potential and we hope that we will be able to get all updates on the cars. The 107pc (rule) should not be an issue under normal circumstances," said Colin Kolles.
