With Campos Grand Prix having suffered an ownership & management change a couple of weekends ago, it seems the very name of the team will be different. According to Spanish newspaper Diario AS, it seems the Spanish outfit will be renamed into Hispania Racing F1 Team before the start of the new season.

Jose Ramon Carabente, until a few weeks ago shareholder within Adrian Campos’ controlled team, decided to buy the majority stake in the organization and proceeded to a management change, appointing Colin Kolles as new team principal of the team.

Another important decision now seems to be the rebranding of the team into Hispania Racing, the name being linked with Carabante’s company Grupo Hispania. Although only a rumor for the time being, the new name of the team will be disclosed on Thursday, together with the all-new 2010 Dallara-built challenger and the team’s lineup for the upcoming season.

Campos Grand Prix might not have secured their Formula One future in 2010 - at least from a financial standpoint - but the team recently confirmed that their challenger for the upcoming season has passed the final FIA crash test.

The news was revealed by Autosport, for whom team boss Adrian Campos revealed that his Dallara-built car for the 2010 season of Formula One has received the final homologation from the ruling body.

“The car is now homologated and we are still working very, very hard. We are very confident about our position, and we are close to a deal with an investor that will help us even more,” said Campos, according to the aforementioned source.

Ayrton Senna is often regarded as the best racing driver that ever lived. But when he left McLaren - the team with which he won three World Championships - at the end of the 1993 season, he reportedly declared, “If you think I’m good, just wait until you see my nephew Bruno.” That’s quite an endorsement. The following season, Ayrton died at San Marino, and Formula One has been waiting for the return of the Senna name and legendary prowess ever since. According to the latest reports, that’s exactly what we could get as soon as next season.

It’s on again, off again in the face-paced world of Formula One politics. First the biggest teams in F1 were slated to split off and form their own series. Then everything seemed reconciled, until Max Mosley got all torqued off again and threatened to scuttle the whole deal. It’s anyone’s guess at this point – we think the one series will be on track for next season – but in the meantime, the FIA issued the official list of entries for 2010.

Alongside the ten current teams (Ferrari, McLaren, BMW Sauber, Renault, Toyota, Red Bull, Toro Rosso, Williams, Force India and Brawn) returning for next season, the FIA chose three out of the dozen prospective teams that lodged applications to join the series. So if all goes according to plan, Campos Meta, Manor Grand Prix and Team US F1 will be joining the grid next season.
