Completely Campos Meta is back

Formula One was brought to an end at the amazing Abu Dhabi Circuit in Dubai. The race was set to be the finale of the season and it went out in stunning fashion with luxurious location which saw the newly erected Ferrari World being exposed on worldwide television and of course the amazingly lit hotel which stands in the centre of the circuit. Jenson Button was crowned world champion in Brazil so it was left to the runner up Sebastian Vettel to clinch the title of being the first driver to win at the new Middle East venue.

With the 2009 season over and done with, it was time for the drivers to take a well earned rest….yeah right! The work had already been ongoing from the middle of the 2009 season on the new 2010 car and this work picked up pace over the past couple of months. The driver market was a hot topic this year with the addition of new privately owned teams. These were USF1, Virgin GP, Lotus and Campos Meta. Campos is obviously the team in the spotlight for Completely Campos Meta. Campos Meta were a team in Formula One’s feeder series, GP2, and the new regulations surrounding money convinced them to take a step up and go into F1.

Speculation was mounting on the future of drivers and all eyes were staring at the Renault garage where Fernando Alonso sat with his mouth firmly zipped about a possible move to another outfit. The driver market kept on holding out for the confirmation of Alonso’s future and many people already said that he had signed for Ferrari to partner Felipe Massa. I took time but Alonso was eventually confirmed at Ferrari for 2010 along with Massa, but what of Kimi Raikkonen? Raikkonen had won the world championship back in 2007 by a narrow margin from Lewis Hamilton and now he was out of a drive. It was a shame to see such a talented and well supported driver be out of a drive. Toyota’s interest cooled because of their financial situation which forced them out of the sport. Raikkonen therefore fulfilled his passion to drive in Rallying. Toyota was a big loss to the sport as well as BMW. This meant that two manufacturer teams were out of the sport. Formula One has been an inspiration to the road car business with many parts being tried out in the sport before being implemented into road cars. The inspiration of manufacturer cars dwindled and a new age of Formula One began. A greener sport was looming with privately owned teams taking up the flag and flying it high for the future.

Other driver moves came flooding in and the Campos Team confirmed Bruno Senna for 2010 who is, of course, the nephew of Ayrton. This news created waves in the media as expectations were high for Senna. Mostly, people would say, because of the famous name he carries. The expectation is always going to be there in terms of media reporting, we cannot get away from it. It doesn’t mean that we should expect a lot from the young Brazilian straight away because it will be his debut year in the sport. Completely Campos Meta believes that Bruno should make a name for himself in Formula One rather than be known for the simple matter of his name.
