Campos may be forced to withdraw

Reports in the specialist press, including Germany's Auto Motor und Sport and the Swiss newspaper Blick, say the Campos team could be asked to hand back its official entry if it cannot guarantee a full budget for the 2010 season.

The next move for the new Spanish team may be signing a female driver that could help attract much-needed sponsors for that budget.

News that Campos may be in financial straits began to surface earlier this month when it was reported that the team was seeking to sell part of the team. Just this week Tony Teixeira was named as a possible backer.
Now it’s rumored in the Italian press that Maria de Villota is being considered as a teammate for Bruno Senna .

The 31-year-old Spaniard, who has competed in world touring cars, DTM and Superleague Formula, is the daughter of former F1 driver Emilio de Villota.

"When time runs out, urgent action is needed," said the Spanish sports daily AS, revealing that di Villota might at least be offered a role as reserve driver.

It is believed the F1 Commission will discuss the Campos issue on Monday. SpeedTV
