Campos in bad shape

Will Bruno Senna ride in Formula 1 ? The fate of the Brazilian, nephew of triple world champion Ayrton Senna, is now linked to the fate of the Campos team. And this one doesn't seem very serene. While the lack of budget of the Spanish team is often highlighted, Dallara would have put Adrian Campos up against the wall. The Italian firm, which built the chassis of the car that Campos is expected to use this season in F1, has stopped all development. According to the German press, Dallara is waiting for the invoices to be paid before continuing with the project, having given this Friday, February 5 as the deadline. If this deadline is not respected, Campos could find himself without a car. As AUTOhebdo writes in its columns this week, the fate of this team is well linked to financial guarantees: either they are provided and the story can continue, or they are not and Stefan GP takes over.

Stefan GP profiterait alors de cette opportunité pour s?assurer sa place en Formule 1, en rachetant les droits de la monoplace développée par Dallara. Si l?équipe serbe a racheté l?activité F1 de Toyota, elle n?est encore assurée d?aucune place sur les grilles de départ 2010, puisque toutes les places sont pourvues. Mais la mort du projet Campos pourrait permettre à Stefan GP de se faire une place dans le paddock. En rachetant les droits de la Dallara, Stefan GP s?assurerait de ne pas voir une écurie lui souffler sa place.

Zoran Stefanovic?s team is actively preparing, at the same time, to compete in the next Formula 1 world championship. The Serbian team has planned to take part in a test session on February 25, in Portimao, less than three weeks of the start of the Formula 1 season. And, on the drivers side, Stefan GP could trust Kazuki Nakajima, supported by Toyota, and Ralf Schumacher, who drove for three seasons for Toyota F1.
