If I was 7up I'd sue for breach of the copyrighted term "cool spot" on something that clearly isn't cool. And I thought this was supposed to be an HRT. It looks for all the world like a Tata.
Are they trying to nick the font from Liverpool's 09/10 European kit?
The Old Republic was a stupidly run organisation which deserved to be taken over. All Hail Palpatine!

If I was 7up (ie PepsiCo) I wouldn't be an uptight ass about it. And about the font, no resemblance whatsoever except the "line" in the middle of the characters (which isn't exclusive to that Liverpool font in any way).
I quite like it, though I imagine that new sponsor will change the look quite dramatically. If I was to purchase the big spot on the sidepods, I wouldn't want to be stuck with a predetermined colour scheme, for example.

Why is a team called 'Hispania Racing' completely devoid of any links to Spain whatsoever? It's not like they've got a title sponsor who demanded a red and white car. Why not use Spain's red and yellow and try and get a little national pride going?
Forza Ferrari!!

Essentially this just seems to be a showcase for the livery designer, which is very nice of HRT, but I'd be more concerned at the distinct lack of sponsors. Looks like another year of hand-to-mouth existence for the team.

I don't think Tata would like to put their name on a car with Spanish colors, since I'm not sure Spain is or would be one of their biggest target markets. It's amazing that Spain as a country can't generate more sponsors for the only Spanish team on the grid. All the major sponsorship money goes towards only Alonso it seems.

the chassis being built in Salzburg by Carbo Tech Composites GmbH. This company has developed rapidly in recent years thanks in part to a deal that it enjoyed with Scuderia Toro Rosso to build chassis in the days when the the Faenza team was using Red Bull Racing designs. A Carbo Tech chassis was thus the winner of a Grand Prix at Monza in 2008 when Sebastian Vettel won the Italian GP.Automobile Club de L'Ile Notre-Dame
