Happy Bubble Racing Team British Grand Prix press release

HBRT (Happy Bubble Racing Team) celebrate the perfect score of the British Grand Prix! It can't get any better than that with the combinations we have. It is not all too often, when you have an ideal race! But that was it. 1St, 2nd, 3rd and 4th – first four positions all to us! 1st Mercedes, 2nd Bottas, 3rd Ricciardo, 4th McLaren-Mercedes.

It is a rare sight to have such a race and we duly celebrated the result post-race knowing fully well it was a special moment.

However, it hasn't helped us to really close on the leaders, so continually our main goal is to attempt to secure third position in the championship, but we need some fortune during the second half of the season to make that happen.

HBRT would like to thank Aki Hedgehog Racing and Ford Focus F1 for a good co-operation. Thanks to our joint effort we are even in the process of solving our last problem – the aerodynamic development and windtunnel issue. We accidentally found some cash under our sofa to buy an additional desktop fan for the windtunnel. So now there are two fans for the power. As evidenced by the improved recent performance of the most problematic package of ours – McLaren – the purchase has worked!

HBRT however can't comment on the alleged rumour of ending the partnership with others teams. There is also the saying that „don't ruin what is working“, so leaving the partnership could destabilize our team for next year.

However, it is all too unclear and chill in the HQ's of the title sponsor Happy Bubble and any plans for next year will be concluded in late autumn. Then Happy Bubble Company will have a boardroom meeting in which they would review the past business and marketing year. FGP has been a great success for Happy Bubble Company, but they are also pondering whether to leave on a high like Brawn GP instead of participating in multiple seasons and dropping back.

HBRT would like to announce one last news item – Gianni Morbidelli has been sacked as the reserve driver, hence HBRT will conclude the year without a reserve driver. However, the 1M € salary has been paid out in full, so no lawsuits are awaiting us. HBRT was convinced that as both of its drivers are performing superbly, there is no need for a reserve driver to jump in any more.

Also Morbidelli got bored, because one our newly-bought computer simulator irreparably crashed while he was playing a game and he switched back to practising on Grand Prix 2 of which he got bored and decided to retire for good. We wish Morbidelli all the best for he future adventures and may he enjoy his retirement as it has been a long racing career he has had thus far!
