The HRT Formula 1 Team has finally moved into its new Madrid headquarters, the Caja Mágica.
For the occasion, Madrid Mayoress Ana Botella and Spanish Motorsport Federation President Carlos Gracia got a guided tour of the new facilities.
Both were impressed with what they saw, and stressed the significance of having a Spanish team in Formula One.
"I would like to thank HRT for choosing Madrid to set up its headquarters. I congratulate them for being the first Spanish team to obtain a Formula 1 license, there are only 12 teams and just being there is very important for Spain," the mayoress said in a team's press release.
"A few weeks ago I accompanied Jean Todt when he visited the facilities and he was impressed with what he saw," Gracia added.
"I've seen teams with more tradition who have been in Formula 1 for longer but I've never come across such a hungry and united team."
