Campos Meta
Campos Meta are perhaps the most secretive of the new teams to enter F1, headed up by Adrian Campos a former F1 driver. They are the extension of the GP2 team Addax, along with a Spainish media firm Meta Image and are based in spain.
There isn’t much info on their car other than the fact that Dallara are building it, and that it’ll be using Cosworth engines. So with an outsourced car the mechanics will simply be fitters, I guess testing will be fun. Dallara do build a lot of race cars though so it might be good, it has a good chance of being better than the Virgin or US F1 cars.
Driver wise they have perhaps the most exciting name to grace the F1 grid in terms of Bruno Senna, he has a lot to live up to but perhaps Campos with be the stepping stone to achievement that he needs. The other seat remains unoccupied at the moment but I’d expect it to be a paid drive for a pair of rookies, I’m surprised that they haven’t found an old hat to fill the other seat for some experience given the lack of F1 experience that has been linked to Campos Meta.
In summary not the most thrilling team but with the addition of the Senna name perhaps one of the most eagerly awaited cars on the grid next year – if they make it.
