TBH I'm not surprised, nor care. Campos shouldn't have been let into F1 anyway. But they need a better name than Stefan GP.

Agreed. :up:Quote:

Iīm not surprised Bernie prefers Stefan over Campos... or over whatever.
A team doing something like buying other teamīs chassis supplier (even when they have their own chassis) only to f*ck the other is just the way Bernie likes. Business, they call it.
The bad thing is that if Campos could have got enough money maybe theyīd be at the grid in Bahrein or wherever, and that could (big COULD) mean a grid of up to 28 cars, but now itīs more than difficult they do something which is not dissapearing, so we should have 26... if USF1 manages to put things right... which would leave us with 24, always assuming Stefan GP is accepted because if not... 22 cars. Just like the Super Aguri days. I hope we donīt lose someone else...
If they truly had the money they should have bought Toyota's operations. It seems they never really did have enough and needed drivers to bring cash in. That's not the way to run an F1 team
I personally like the name. Nice, clear and short, not long and clumsy "Stefanovich GP", and not something weird nationalistic stuff in the example of USF1 and Force India. Stefan GP sounds like a proper name for a true garagiste team. :)Quote:

thats not the story i've seen. Stefan GP have talked to/Signed up with Dallara to help develop their ex Toyota chassis, which has no effect on their contract with Campos to build them a chassis (although i'd argue it does seem like a conflict of interests)Quote:

Even if it is a separate issue (one of development rather than supply) to that of Campos, I can't help but feel that Stefanovich is thinking way ahead and knows that he can f*ck Campos over.
But Bernie will like that and I do expect to see them on the grid eventually.
