Campos buy-out confirmed

Campos look as though they will be ready for the start of the new season next month after the team's weekend buy-out.
Bruno Senna and Jose Maria Lopez could be the two drivers after Jose Ramon Carabante bought owner Adrian Campos' share of the team.
Campos has been replaced as team principal by ex-Force India boss Colin Kolles, although the new ownership and driver line-up are still to be confirmed.
An upbeat Carabante said after completing his buy-out: "We will have two cars in Bahrain. I don't know how we will have them, and I don't care, but we will have two cars on the grid.
"If this is going to be achieved, I think this is one of the most amazing things. They had nothing. They had one empty workshop with nothing inside.
"For two weeks I'm sleeping two hours a night, it's the most incredible time. I push more and more, and I'm not giving it up until I'm there. I want to succeed in bringing the team on the grid, and to survive the year and to stabilise it and then to build it up.
"My role is to clean up the chaos. They had basically nothing, only chaos. The only department which basically exists is a software department, with eight guys who never saw an F1 car in their lives, and who are doing software simulation programmes.
"Then there are two or three engineers with F1 experience, and that's it. The real story is a crazy story."
Lopez is believed to be keen to take up the second Campos seat after it emerged that his US F1 team are in financial trouble and could miss the first four races of the season.
Indian driver Karun Chandhok is also in the running for the position alongside Senna, although he has also been linked with Stefan GP.
