Next Year's New Teams Confirmed

[CarMadMike]

It's good to know at least one decision has been made by the FIA recently, and that is next year's new teams:

Team US F1

 

• "Team US F1 got on board long before Mosley began slashing budgets and scaring off the established teams. Venerated motorsports journalist Peter Windsor has reportedly begun scaling back his interviews around the paddock to refocus his efforts on leading the new team, which is projected to bring Cosworth back into the sport as its independent engine supplier. In an intriguing piece of speculation, YouTube has been linked to the team as a potential big sponsor after co-founder Chad Hurley was seen at Silverstone for last weekend's British Grand Prix."
  

Campos Grand Prix

• "Campos Grand Prix is a joint effort being fielded by Spanish outfits team Campos Racing and sports agency Meta Image. Campos won the teams championship in the second-tier GP2 series last year, and is expected to hit the F1 grid next season with a Dallara chassis and Cosworth engines. No confirmation so far on earlier reports linking Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim to the team."
  

 

Manor Grand Prix

• "Manor Grand Prix, the third new entry on the grid, is another joint effort, bringing Formula 3 team Manor Motorsport together with former Simtek and Benetton director Nick Wirth. Like the American outfit and Campos, Manor is also expected to use the new low-cost engine package being offered by onetime F1 mainstay supplier Cosworth. With the rising value of sponsoring this year's presumptive champions, Richard Branson's Virgin group is tipped to jump from Brawn to the upstart Manor team in the hopes of getting more value."
