Dallara delivered what they were paid for, ie not much. If HRT actually paid them more than the bare minimum required to design a functioning car Dallara would have developed the design into something more competitive. It actually speaks volumes about Dallara's quality that they managed to design a car that passed the safety tests and gave the Marussias something to think about given the pittance they were paid.

Given Dallara's outstanding history and resources as long as Haas gives them a decent budget they will be fine and they have underused facilities available at Indy if they want to do the work in the US. If Haas is sensible he will marry up what he already has with a base in Europe and go with Dallara and that appears to be exactly what he is doing.

As for Sauber using HRT chassis in 2013 I don't think so. They were bought up by an enthusiast to use in EuroBOSS.
