I'm convinced that the HRT's either don't have mirrors, or that they're mounted so flimsily that vibrations render them unusable, or (more likely) that the cars are such nightmares to control that the drivers don't have the spare capacity to keep an eye on their opponents. Whenever somebody is blocked, be it in practice, qualifying, or the race, you can virtually guarantee that it's an HRT at fault.

Wrong part of the track to get caught in traffic.
Gary Anderson blames car set up:
Think back to Abu Dhabi and the way they set the car up after Vettel's exclusion from qualifying.
Normally, Red Bull run short gears and lots of downforce for the ultimate lap time and try to win from the front.
But in Abu Dhabi they took some downforce off it, changed the gear ratios and gave the car faster straight-line speed so it was easier to overtake. But the lap time was still very strong in spite of that.
I thought they might look at that and compromise a little for this race to keep their options open, give Vettel a set-up that meant if he didn't get pole or got tripped up in the race - as he did - he could still recover with enough straight-line speed to pass people.
But they didn't do that. They were slow on the straight in qualifying, with the DRS overtaking aid open. Hamilton was six km/h faster than them.
In the race, the leader defending his position does not have the use of DRS but the guy chasing him does. DRS gives you about 15km/h so that's a 21km/h advantage in speed for Hamilton, so Vettel was helpless.
