HRT (Hispania Racing Team), the team to emerge from the Campos Meta outfit has finally released the Dallara car that has been promised for months. They also released the identity of Bruno Senna&#8217;s team mate &#8211; Karun Chandhok. If you haven&#8217;t heard of him it&#8217;s because he&#8217;s an unknown GP2 driver who&#8217;s won two races in the last three years and managed to haul himself to a massive 18th in the GP2 championship last year.
With this launch comes the promise that they might actually make the grid for Bahrain and at least confirms all of the entrys for the cars. I wonder how effective they will be, the car has never run, Karun Chandhok clearly isn&#8217;t a driver that can compete at the highest level in GP2 let alone F1 &#8211; he must have some backing &#8211; and Bruno Senna last drove an F1 car in 2008.
Bruno Senna has a [...]]]></description>

The FIA have issued the revised entry list for the 2010 season that confirms neither US F1 or Stefan GP will be at Bahrain. The release basically denies Stefan GP entry as it says 
it is not possible for a replacement team to be entered for the championship at this late stage
I guess their dream was good while it lasted. It all comes down to whether they could have raced I guess and the FIA didn&#8217;t think they could. It remains to be seen whether Campos Meta under the new title of HRT Cosworth will manage to make the grid as no one has seen the car &#8211; it is due to be launched soon though.
Other things worth noting from the list are the lack of a second driver for HRT to partner Bruno Senna and the fact that Campos Meta can rename the team but that BMW Sauber Ferrari [...]]]></description>

When it was announced that the FIA would be looking for new teams to bolster the F1 grid I was surprised &#8211; isn&#8217;t this a club where you have to know Bernie and have had dinner with him a few times plus have filled his pockets with gold before you can fill in the form? But no, they were indeed opening up F1, and they had a lot of applications.
The FIA (and Bernie) should have looked at the applications that were tabled and then thrown away the financially unsound ones and then looked at what was left, there was a lot of talk about due diligence  at the time. This process was obviously not through enough, two of the teams that were granted entry have been sold and bought before the new season has even started (Campos Meta and Manor), and a third is rumoured to have mounting financial problems [...]]]></description>

With the takeover of Campos Meta confirmed and Virgin and Lotus already on track it seems that US F1 are the only team that Stefan GP could replace to make the 2010 grid. With Campos out of the way the rumour mill has started on US F1 it&#8217;s finances and it&#8217;s potential to make the grid. 
Stefan GP have yet to show that they are actually a viable team, their car is yet to run much like Campos Meta and US F1 but Zoran Stefanović has been making big noises about the fact that they are ready and have the car &#8211; which to be fair they are testing near the end of the month. That is more than the other two teams have managed yet.
Neither Campos nor US F1 have been very open during the whole build up to the start of the season, with Virgin and Lotus giving [...]]]></description>

The financial worries that Campos Meta has seem to have now disappeared with the takeover from Jose Ramon Carabante, already a shareholder in the original team he has now taken control and appointed Colin Kolles to lead the team. It&#8217;s a sad end to Adrian Campos&#8217; desire to enter F1 with his own team.
The whole team now has a lot to do to get it&#8217;s untested car to the track for Bahrain and find another driver to partner Bruno Senna. Being competitive is going to be the last thing on their minds at this point as most of the staff must have been keeping an eye on the job market.
Colin Kolles is a strange choice to lead the team, though he does have F1 experience he hasn&#8217;t really ever done anything in the sport other than being a rather unpopular face for Midland. Technically he&#8217;s had spells at three F1 [...]]]></description>

Silence is all that remains in the garages that should be occupied by Campos Meta and US F1 at Jerez this week, with both teams still as yet to release their cars. It seems that we&#8217;ll have to wait until the first GP to see the cars &#8211; if we ever get to that is.
Stefan GP has bought the Toyota chassis and secured contracts with Toyota for servicing and consulting and will release their car later this month even if it seems, they won&#8217;t get a place on the grid. Without the limited testing rules that wouldn&#8217;t apply to them as they aren&#8217;t racing they would run a young driver programme to develop the car. However it seems that Bernie wants them on the grid and it&#8217;s likely to be at the expense of either Campos Meta or US F1 &#8211; I can&#8217;t see the FIA just letting Stefan GP [...]]]></description>

Since the announcement that 4 new teams would be entering F1 there has been rumours circulating around all the new teams but none more so than Campos Meta. They have shown the least to the world and even Bernie has been voicing the rumours.
Over the last few weeks it&#8217;s become clear that Adrian Campos hasn&#8217;t got the financial support to go racing for a year without new Investment in the team, he says that he doesn&#8217;t want to sell a stake but that he wants investment&#8230; Now as someone who works for a VC backed company I&#8217;m not sure how he&#8217;s going to get investment without selling part of the team, that&#8217;s how it works isn&#8217;t it?
Anyway Adrian Campos has said that he will have the required funding in place on Monday and that the team will line up on the grid in Bahrain &#8211; even if that is without [...]]]></description>

So without a home for 2010 Nick Heidfeld has given up hope of a race drive for 2010 and taken up the reserve driver role at Mercedes. I guess it is his best hope for a few races with a decent team.
With nowhere to go after Sauber signed Pedro de la Rosa he has settled for the reserve driver role, it&#8217;ll mean that he&#8217;s testing a good car and that he&#8217;s still in the F1 paddock at least but I&#8217;m not so sure he wouldn&#8217;t have been better off joining one of the new teams to keep himself on the track. I&#8217;m sure Campos would have jumped at the chance of having someone of his calibre driving for them. Having said that, they probably wouldn&#8217;t have paid him and it&#8217;s not like he&#8217;d have been competitive. At least he&#8217;d be there though.
With rumours circulating that Michael Schumacher doctors were about [...]]]></description>

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&#8217;t much info on their car other than the fact that Dallara are building it, and that it&#8217;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 [...]]]></description>
