A1GP boss Tony Teixeira has been linked with a deal to buy a stake in the new Campos Meta Formula 1 team.
Autosport reports that Campos is looking to bring in outside investors having not yet signed off all the sponsorship deals it needs.
Sources claim that one of the options being looked at is for Teixeira to buy a part of the team – though he is understood to be one of several interested parties.
Teixeira has been open about the fact that he has been considering entering Formula 1 and told the motorsport website last year that he was on the shortlist to buy the former Honda team at the beginning of 2009.
“I was one of the guys talking to Honda in the last two weeks,” he said. “We had done a deal on Spyker, but I let Vijay [Mallya] take it. We then went to Toro Rosso in November and all the [other] teams said ‘no customer cars’ so I had to walk away.
“Today I’m in a completely different situation. I’ve built my own cars and designed my own chassis. I have my own factory so I’m not a customer boss. I can now build my chassis and run with a Ferrari engine. I’m now the same as everyone else.”
