Haug fuming over Campos decision

Campos has followed in the footsteps of Williams by failing to accept the request for a fourteenth team to join the grid next season. Spain's Campos, set to make its own Formula One debut in 2010, must - like all other teams - give the all clear for the Qadbak team's proposal in order for the Hinwil outfit to stand a chance of remaining in the sport.

With BMW Sauber having been bought by the Swiss investments company, it lost its place on next year's grid by failing to sign the Concorde Agreement on time, allowing Lotus to seize its chance of entering. However, governing body the FIA has granted the Qadbak Sauber squad an entry, providing all other entrants agree.

Williams owner Sir Frank Williams has already explained that he desires to learn more of the company before accepting its admission and, with Campos having now followed suit, a large shadow appears to have been cast over Qadbak's 2010 entry.

Norbert Haug, on the other hand, is irritated over Campos' position. "How dare Campos, as a new team with no track record whatsoever, vote against Sauber," the Vice President of Mercedes-Benz Motorsport told Swiss publication Blick.
