It's rumored that FIA will take a detail look to the team..

"Team US F1 is the subject of an FIA inspection on Wednesday about its state of readiness for the new season, AUTOSPORT has learned, amid fresh doubts about the American outfit's hopes of competing in 2010.

The visit, which has not been officially confirmed by either US F1 or the FIA, comes in the wake of speculation that team backer Chad Hurley (of Youtube - rein) is trying to complete a deal with either Campos Meta or Stefan GP to merge operations and keep US F1's ambitions on track."

Ferrari on the other hand blame former FIA president Max Mosley for this latest fiasco.

Latest news..

Team USF1 had shut down their operation, but hoping to join the grid in 2011.

"Anderson told AUTOSPORT: "We have applied to the FIA to hold our entry until 2011. It was supposed to be confidential, so I could not really comment on it. It seems to have leaked out though.

"We are waiting for a reply from the FIA and are working with them. In the mean time, there is nothing for the employees to do, so we have told them to stop working on the current car until we have a decision."

With Team US F1 now certain not to be able to compete in 2010, it is not clear if the FIA will opt to hand an entry to the Stefan GP, or choose to simply open applications for the 2011 championship instead - leaving just 12 teams on the grid this season.

The Campos Meta 1 will raced under new name.. Hispania Racing

"The decision was announced on Wednesday morning, together with the news that the team will be presented in Murcia, Spain on Thursday.

It is expected HRT will then confirm Bruno Senna and Karun Chandhok as its racing drivers, with Jose Maria Lopez believed to be on the verge of securing a deal to become the team's reserve following the collapse of US F1.

AUTOSPORT understands that team founder Adrian Campos, who sold his stake in the team to Carabante last month, will stay onboard as executive vice-president.

Hispania Racing, named after one of Carabante's companies, said it will continue to push with plans to build its base in Murcia, but it is expected to operate from Campos's factory in Alzira, Alicante in the meantime.

The team will be led by Colin Kolles, who has appointed as team principal and managing director last month."

Finally, the nephew of my hero, Bruno Senna will compete, to continues his uncle's legendary surname in F1..

HRT F1 (read: Hispania Racing F1 Team, formerly known as Campos Meta 1 team) finally unveil it's 2010 contender.









Drivers : Bruno Senna, Karun Chandhok

The HRT challenger has been designed by Italian racing car constructor Dallara - which endured weeks of uncertainty in its preparation following financial problems with the outfit when it was known as Campos.

With no testing allowed before the start of the season, HRT's car is likely to run for the first time during Friday free practice in Bahrain.
