A report on the motorsport-total.com website claims that Campos Meta is in talks with potential investors as it looks to meet its budget for the coming season.

The report said owner Adrian Campos is looking at either partly or completely selling the team before the Bahrain season opener, with the deal being completed possibly as soon as next week.

"It is not a secret that we do not have the budget. And time is scarce," a source told the website. "If we can find a good investor, we could sell part of the team to them. If necessary we could sell the whole team, but the basic conditions would have to be right."

They said talks with several potential investors were taking place, including South African entrepreneur and A1GP boss Tony Teixeira, who in the past has been linked with buying Super Aguri, Spyker, Toro Rosso and Honda.
