Pedro De la Rosa

Campos are still holding talks with McLaren test driver Pedro de la Rosa over their remaining 2010 race seat.

The Spanish team have already signed Bruno Senna, and the team have confirmed they have not ruled out the possibility of the Spaniard being his team-mate, although a lack of Spanish sponsors has been cited as a potential stumbling block.

Team principal José Ramon Carabante said:

“There is a possibility that the seat which remains could be for a Spanish driver and, of course, it would be a dream for it to be Pedro de la Rosa – negotiations with Pedro have never stopped.

“If we are able to cover the budget, based on negotiations, the first option is to bring in Pedro.

“Being Spanish, we would be delighted to have him in our team, but it depends very much on sponsorship. As far as Spanish drivers go at the moment, de la Rosa is the only option

Other drivers in the frame are Campos GP2 drivers Pastor Maldonado and Vitaly Petrov.
