HRT missed its final chance to test its new car after missing the final day in Barcelona because, so the team claims, vital parts were held up by Spanish customs.
The F111 was rolled in the Barcelona pit lane on Friday but not tested due to parts being at the airport. Late on Friday evening the Spanish team said it would not run on Saturday - the final day of pre-season testing - either.
"Unfortunately we could not get the dampers out of customs," said team boss Colin Kolles. "The result of this is that we can“t run tomorrow [Saturday]. This is life and we will overcome this problem."
With teams' freight heading for Australia over the coming weeks it is unlikely the car will run before the first practice session at Albert Park.
