Whakakihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: Kaore a Scuderia Toro Rosso i pupuri i a Jaime Alguersuari, Sébastien Buemi ranei, engari i kowhiri ki te whakakapi i a raatau ki a Daniel Ricciardo me te 2011 Formula Renault 3.5 Series runner-up a Jean-Éric Vergne. I mahi a Ricciardo i mua hei whakamātautau me te taraiwa o te kapa i mua i tana whakanoho ki HRT mo te
2011 British Grand Prix, i te wa i oti ai a Vergne i te rarangi whakamatautau iti mo te roopu i te haurua tuarua o te waa. I noho a Sébastien Buemi hei whakamatautau mo Red Bull Racing me te taraiwa taapiri i whakataetae i nga haora 24 o Le Mans me Toyota, e taraiwa ana i te TS030 Hybrid. I whakawhiwhia a Alguersuari ki tetahi nohoanga i HRT, engari i whakakahoretia, ka uru atu ki te kaiwhakarato taera Pirelli hei kaihauturu whakamatautau, e whakawhanake ana i nga huinga taera hei whakamahi i te whakataetae i te taha o te kaihauturu Virgin Racing o mua a Lucas di Grassi.
