Less than six weeks before the start of the season, the future in Formula 1 USF1 stables and, above all, Campos Meta 1 is not in good shape. Far from being just a simple observer of the situation, Bernie Ecclestone reaffirmed his certainty that Campos and USF1 were not ready for the first race of the season.

« I think we won't see Campos or the Americans », commented Mister E, who thinks that these teams will not be in Bahrain. “ They will ask to miss the first three races. The Concorde Agreements provide for this eventuality. »

En revanche, Ecclestone a réaffirmé sa volonté de voir Stefan GP profiter d?une défection pour se présenter sur la grille de départ dès le début de la saison. En plus d?avoir racheté l?activité F1 de Toyota, l?écurie de Zoran Stefanovic ne connaitrait aucun problème de trésorerie. « They have the budget, thanks to the Serbian government, says Bernie. I discussed it with the Prime Minister. »
