Campos stepping up to Formula One next season

A female racing driver is eying a Formula One test with the new 2010 entrant Campos.

F2 racer Natacha Gachnang, a first cousin of Swiss Toro Rosso driver Sebastien Buemi, told Spain's Marca sports newspaper that she has ‘been speaking’ with team chief Adrian Campos. The 21-year-old said a test is ‘certainly possible’.

"He believes in me after we spent time together in the Spanish championship of F3," said Gachnang.

If she goes on to secure a race seat, Gachnang would be the fifth woman to attempt to qualify for Grand Prix. The most recent was Italian Giovanna Amati, in 1992.
