That's my problem with drivers like Petrov. He's not better than De La Rosa nor a good looking girl. He just happens to bring loads of cash.

Are you saying men have smaller number of legs?

PS: I hope we'll see Sarah Moore progressing towards the highest level of motorsport in a few years time.

Because Campos probably isn't willing to sell it at the moment & its their entry to sell.

If the Dallara contract is forfeited, it is Dallara's to sell.. SGP buys it, ridding the market of any available design.
This would leave Campos with nothing but a 2010 F1 Licence.. they'd be forced to sell at this stage, most probably at an undervalued figure.. cheap entry for StefanGP!

err.. not quite. She would have the advantage of 20 pounds of ballast.

RacecarEngineer: we are hearing that the Kolles/Campos deal is done


Also, as article in Turun Sanomat says that an announcement on the wrapping-up of the Campos effort is eminent. They say that Dalara has restarted work on the chassis, but for a different team - possibly with Geoff Willis coming in on the project.

Could mean that she could run with a fuller tank and have the engine run at full power more, meaning more fuel per lap is burnt, meaning a charge thrugh the feild is posible.

Kolles and Wills would be a killer partnership. Id expect that the Campos orginisation woould go under the Campos name till the 2 year Cosworth engine deal is up. Then id expect that VW to announce they are entering the sport via their Audi marque, with a full team from 2012 onward.

No. The driver+car weight has to be 620kg or greater at all times. If you had a lighter car/driver and put in extra fuel which was burnt off in the race then you would fail the weight limit in the post race scrutineering.

If the Dallara cars go to USF1, then what happens to Campos with Kolles?

Looks like we have 12 teams present now for 2010.

Lets hope that they can attend maybes a couple days of the test in Barcelona next week somehow.
