New team principal at Campos, Collin Kolles has all but confirmed the signing of Karun Chandhok.
The Indian GP2 driver had been rumoured to join Bruno Senna, with which he partnered in 2008 when they both drove for iSport International.
“We have been very impressed with Karun’s performance in GP2 and are close to finalising a deal with him,” Kolles revealed.
“India is a great country and it would be great for the sport to have an Indian driver on the grid. However, we will be in a better position to comment on this over the next few days.”
