Russian GP2 pilot Vitaly Petrov may appear in Formula One as soon as in 2010, as he’s rumored to be joining the newly-promoted Campos Meta stable, grandprix.com reports.
The reputable British title writes that the Russian’s chances of making it to “the queen of motor sport” are extremely high.
“The 24-year-old Russian seems to have plenty of money behind him, although the identity of his sponsors is not really clear. He is rumored to have as much as $15 million to take to a Formula 1 team and, of course, the F1 world is keen to get more Russian involvement in the sport, as it is a country which has potential for many of the F1 sponsors,” according to the magazine.

Cool, I was curious why we never saw any Russians involved in auto racing. They are always so good at other sports like hockey, basketball and such. Good to see this.
