After a good qualification for its two drivers yesterday, the HRT team hoped for a better race than the one they ultimately experienced.

Liuzzi ultimately had to retire at the end of the race due to an alternator problem. The Spanish team managed in 2011, thanks to its three drivers, to surpass Virgin in the constructors' championship, as in 2010.
