The new Campos Meta team due to enter Formula One next year hope to announce one of their drivers in Valencia next month, team boss Adrian Campos said.

The Spaniard told Autosport that the Cosworth-engined car, designed by Italy's Dallara, was also progressing well.

"The model will be in the wind tunnel for the first time next week," he said. "We have set up a company called Dallara-Campos to build the cars in a new factory. We are recruiting 200 people.

"I hope to announce one driver at the European Grand Prix in (Valencia in) August," added the former Minardi driver.

Spanish-based Campos Meta are one of three new teams due to make their debuts next season, the others being USF1 and Manor Grand Prix.

Gian Paolo Dallara told the online GP Week magazine that his company had started designing the car three months ago, despite the 2010 regulations being uncertain due to a standoff between existing teams and the governing FIA.

"We plan to have the initial designs ready in October in order to have our first tests in January 2010," he added.

"We would have liked to test in 2009 but we will not be ready in time."

  3. HELLO MY LITTLE F1 BUDDIES, THIS IS YOUR FRIEND­ MARINARO4 FROM CHILE, WHAT A NAUGHTY BOY IS MY NEPHEW­ MARNIO FROM PERU, ISN'T HE SO STRANGE AND WEIRD,­ AND EVERYONE ON THIS SITE IS WONDERING WHAT A LITTLE­ SCREWED UP PIECE OF @#$% HE REALLY IS. MAYBE I CAN GIVE­ YOU ALL SO ANSWERS. WHEN MARNIO WAS TWELVE YEARS OLD HE­ WAS OBJUCTED BY STRANGE ALIEN CREATURES IN THE­ MOUNTAINS OF CHILE. A STRANGE LOOKING SPACECRAFT CAME­ OUT OF THE NIGHT SKY DURING A COOL SUMMERS NIGHT IN THE­ MIDDLE OF DECEMBER. AND MY NEPHEW MARNIO THOUGHT THAT­ THESE ALIENS WERE ET'S FROM THE MOVIE IN THE EARLY­ 1980'S. THINKING THAT THESE ALIENS WERE INDEED­ FRIENDLY WENT WITH THEM INTO THEIR SPACECRAFT AND TOOK­ OFF LEAVING THE EARTH. NO BODY SAW MARNIO FOR WEEKS AND­ EVEN MONTHS. BUT ONE NIGHT IN THE FREEZING WINTER IN­ JULY, MARNIO RETURNED, ALL PALE AND FROZEN WITH FEAR.­ MARNIO HAD SCARES AND SORES ALL OVER HIM, THESE ALIENS­ DID EXPERIMENTS ON HIM USING VARIOUS CHEMICALS AND­ TOXINS THAT WERE NOT OF THIS WORLD. THESE ALIENS USED­ THESE TOXINS AND INJECTED THEM INSIDE THE TOP OF HIS­ SCALP, THESE ALIENS ALSO INJECTED INTO HIS BLOOD SYSTEM­ A TOXIN THATS MAKES HIM GO INSANE. HE SUFFERED MEMORY­ LOSS, BEGAN SEEING DELUSIONS, HE BEGAN BELIEVING THAT­ HE COULD FLY WITHOUT WINGS, HE ALSO BELIEVED HE GREW­ WITH INTELLIGENCE, BUT HE SUFFERED MENTAL ILLNESS AND­ BECAME VERY DEPRESSED, AND TWO MONTHS LATER MARNIO­ SAILED FOR NORTH AMERICA, I HAVEN'T SEEN HIM SINCE,­ BUT OFTEN HE WRITES TO US CLAINING THAT HE HAS MADE­ ALOT OF FRIENDS ON HIS JOURNEY'S AND CLAIMS THAT HE­ IS POPULAR ON A UK F1 TALK SITE CALLED YAHOO. MARNIO­ ONCE WROTE IN ONE OF HIS LETTERS THAT THE PEOPLE ON­ THIS UK F1 SITE TRULY LOVE HIM AND THEY REPECT HIM AND­ THINK THAT HE IS A WISE MAN, FULL OF KNOWLEDGE AND­ SPEAKS THE TRUTH. THIS MIGHT EXPLAIN A FEW THINGS ABOUT­ MY NEPHEW MARNIO FROM PERU.......................

  5. Marnio or "Marion" would suit better, your a­ bit of a muppet, the persona doesnt work with me, i bet­ you wet the bed and once touched your mum­ inapproriatly. your facade that your english is a­ second language is laughable, i'll bet you have­ several loggins and post opposing message arguing with­ yourself. go away, from a medical piont of view you are­ Psychotic, and should be locked up for your own saftey.

  6. Stuart you must be new to this site to be asking such a­ daft question.;-)

    Jeanette Bolan, who is the person­ that "writes" the Bernard, Marnio, Potter etc­ posts gets someone to write these moronic posts for her­ and then posts them over and over again with no change­ and referring to things that are no longer relevant. ­ She is not of sufficient intelligence to write them­ herself you see, if she was then she wouldn't keep­ repeating them.

    From Stuart, on Fri 3 Jul 12:13PM

  8. Maybe the 200 people to be recruited can come from­ those being made redundant as the other teams have to­ downsize over the next 2 years.

    the uk have­­ the lot to answer for in the f1. they­­ give us the­­ mclaren ruffians, mr hamiltons father,­­ the six wheel­­ car, the beardy pipe smoking f1 fan of­­ the 1950s, the balding ronald dennis and his comical­­ genius brother, Les.
    now the enough the enough my­­ friends. to save the f1 we must the act now.
    the f1­ now­ do need the­­ change. under uk rule it become­­ disorientated tired like the dog left in the car on­ the­ summer day.
    we need the new start with the king­ micheal­ schummacher at the helm.
    we need to slain the­ uk­ monster which is ruining our sport. my friends the­ uk­ obliterate their own car industry let us not let­ them­ do the same to our f1.
