Great to hear about new teams and now we have 26 cars. But new teams are not an opportunity to get old crappy drivers back, but young drivers can show what they have.

At least one of more of these entries will not be on the grid in March next year.

BMW (or new owner) lose their place and will now have to fight for it against the other prospective teams

Prodrive won't be joining as long as the new plan is Cosworths.

some members think it's only natural that Prodrive isn't FIA 1st choise because they once where selected to enter, but didn't enter after all the promises they made, so they had their chance and didn't use it, therefor other teams would now be given a chance before Prodrive

but there are also members who think it's the FIA fault Prodrive didn't use their chance (because the whole customer car saga) and because of that Prodrive should get an other chance

As ellis pointed out earlier, Prodrive pretty much ruled themselves out when they refused to use Cosworths, so its a moot point.

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

Christian Klien says he has had some offers from the new teams but that he hopes to race for whoever buys BMW

Campos was hoping to announce PDLR as a driver today but had to abandon that as the contract is still being worked on.

Piquet has been brought up as a potential second driver for that outfit.

Spanish paper *rolls eyes* have reportedly said that Petrov will be No.2 driver and BBVA is about to become one of the supporters for Campos Meta. And it's known that the biggest banking rival of BBVA is the Santander Bank, which aside being next Ferrari supporter, is also personal supporter for Bruno Senna since some seasons. Therefore the presence of a "Santander Pilot" would be impossible in a "BBVA Car". Also, Campos will count with the support of Telefonica. The communication company is an habitue of motorsports, and many F1 Grand Prix have its name, like the Spain Grand Prix.

El Corte Ingles will help with the transportation issues, along with the lodging, travel, etc.

Initially, the team thought about a Black and Silver car. But considering the support from BBVA and Telefonica, we're allow to think that Navy blue will be predominant in the new car.

Even though the design is not decided, is almost a fact that the spaniard flag will be on the nose, which is a personal quote on every Adrian Campos team a decade ago.
