Carabante takes over Campos Meta
The Campos Meta F1 team has announced earlier today that shareholder Jose Ramon Carabante has taken majority control of the team while former Midland, Spyker and Force India boss Colin Kolles has been appointed as new team principal.
“I would like to thank Bernie Ecclestone, who worked tremendously to support our efforts to keep the team viable. The whole rescue operation has been a race against time with the goal of always having the team run two competitive cars at the first Grand Prix of the F1 season in Bahrain. We have a lot of hard work still ahead of us but we are excited about making our F1 debut and looking forward to a competitive season,” said Carabante in a statement.
“I could not resist this tremendous challenge and am very excited to join forces in this new team,” said Colin Kolles. “Over the next ten days we will review the entire operation, find the extra funding to ensure the team will make the first race in Bahrain, announce the line-up for 2010 in due time and make the operation viable under Jose Ramon Carabante’s new ownership”.
