Time running out for new teams

| 3 Comments | No TrackBacks
Lotus and Virgin have been hard at work in Jerez this week, but still we have no word from USF1 and Campos. No sign of a car at all. No sign of second drivers getting signed either. Things are not looking good. It's effectively two weeks till the cars need to be flown to Bahrain.

Campos Meta shareholder Jose Ramon Carabante is said to be on the verge of a full takeover. He has engaged Colin Kolles to run the team, and is talking to Karun Chandhok and Bertrand Baguette (to be said in a thick Belgian-French accent) about driving alongside Bruno Senna.

It is uncertain if they will make the first race or not.

USF1 have been very quiet. It's said Chad Hurley (the founder of YouTube) has pulled out, because there's no sign of a car. The team is struggling to pay its staff. It had said it would make its track debut in Alabama in early February, at Barber Motorsport Park. It's the 18th today, and there's no sign of a car at all.

Meanwhile, Stefan Grand Prix have signed Kazuki Nakajima despite not having an entry. they are also in contract talks with my favourite Canadian folk hero, Jacques Villeneuve.
