Team Name (yeah, I know - again)

[edit]

Okay, the Campos logo has appeared on FOTA's website, and apparently goes on their stationery as well. The team name appears as "Campos Meta" on the website, and on the WMSC press release anouncing the new teams. I'm not sure if there is a conflict with somethig from the FIA or somewhere, but the team name appears as Campos Meta on two different sources. Therefore, I think this page should be renamed Campos Meta. Prisonermonkeys (talk) 06:27, 31 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 2009

[edit]
The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was page moved.  Skomorokh, barbarian  19:02, 8 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Campos Grand Prix → Campos Meta — - "Campos Meta" is the team's name; see WT:F1#Campos Grand Prix or Campos Meta?. Darth Newdar talk 14:20, 31 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The only issue is whether Meta is just a title sponsor, like Vodafone McLaren Mercedes or whether it is actually part of the team. The team website did previously suggest that it was a collaboration between Campos Racing and Meta Image when it had much more info on it, though they have since removed it. I think they will simply be known as Campos by most media, but the page could probably be called Campos Meta. We can always move it again. - mspete93 [talk] 14:32, 31 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I'm sure they will be known as just Campos, just as Scuderia Ferrari are known as Ferrari, and Brawn GP as Brawn. But the fact remains that Campos Meta looks to be their official name. Darth Newdar talk 17:11, 31 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I was origninally worried about whether Meta was just a sponsor, like Panasonic, AT&T or Vodafone, but it appears they are more than just a sponsor. I would wait for a bit because I think other users may have opposing views. - mspete93 [talk] 17:31, 31 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Meta is Meta Image, a sports-advertising firm based in Madrid. However, Campos entered into an arrangement with them early on, and they're part-owners of the team. They have been from the very beginning - back when entries were being submitted, Campos announced it as being named Campos Meta. Technically, it was Campos Meta1, but that's moot point. I'm also reasonably sure they've been talking with Telefonicia to become title sponsor, which wouldn't be possible if Meta was a sponsor themselves. I agree that the team will be referred to simply as Campos, but Brawn GP is referred to as Brawn and Scuderia Ferrari as Ferrari. Prisonermonkeys (talk) 23:40, 31 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I'd say we find out for sure whether they're called Campos Meta or Campos Meta 1 before moving the article. They may end up being called something else anyway - I don't know of many teams without any reference to "Team", "Racing", "F1" or "Grand Prix" in their title. Bretonbanquet (talk) 23:44, 31 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I say we refer to them as Campos Meta Team (as we do on the F1 2010 article) but hold off on actually moving the article until the FIA confirms the 2010 entry list. Eightball (talk) 00:15, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Campos is listed as Campos Meta Team by the WMSC, a body of the FIA. They cannot change their name without the approval of the teams, and since their website, the FOTA website and the WMSC still list them as being Campos Meta Team, they've clearly made no move to change it. Campos Grand Prix was the name of the team's GP2 incarnation, and I have no idea why the article was named after them when they've been listed and described themselves as Campos Meta since they confirmed their entry application was submitted. Prisonermonkeys (talk) 04:16, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I see no reason why we should wait. They are clearly calling themselves Campos Meta, as per their website and their logo; let alone that the WMSC has called them that as well. If it's "Campos Meta 1", I would of thought they would use that name in their logo, and website; and surely it is better to move from the definitely wrong Campos Grand Prix, than leave it "just in case" they change their name again – if they do it's not our fault, and we can just move it again. Darth Newdar talk 11:42, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I created the page as Campos Grand Prix because that is what the original entry list called them. - mspete93 [talk] 11:44, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Where is that? The WMSC entry list (here) lists the teams as "Campos Meta Team". Darth Newdar talk 11:53, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I'm guessing it was the FIA press release announcing the new teams - but I don't think that can be held up as evidence of the team being Campos Grand Prix if the WMSC, FOTA and Campos themselves describe te name as Campos Meta. Prisonermonkeys (talk) 15:53, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
You asked why the page was created as Campos Grand Prix. I didn't say they weren't called Campos Meta. I just said why I called the page Campos Grand Prix. The entry list you mentioned there was not the original one. This was the original one dated 12 June, the day I created the page. - mspete93 [talk] 16:10, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
So I think Campos have changed their mind since then. Darth Newdar talk 07:47, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Did I say they hadn't? You asked why I called the page Campos Grand Prix and now I've told you. - mspete93 [talk] 12:11, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

So, to sum up the discussion here: I, MotorsportPete93 and Prisonermonkeys agree with the move, while Eightball and Bretonbanquet both disagreed. Eightball and Bretonbanquet: have you changed your views in view of the information added to this page since your comments? Darth Newdar talk 17:19, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think it should be moved as well because it doesn't make sense that the team is Campos Meta and we name it Campos Grand Prix. Wild mine (talk) 13:47, 3 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
There was a somewhat similar discussion about the name back at Talk:2010_Formula_One_season#Campos/Manor_again. I would suggest we use Campos Meta Team, until which time where there is a newer/ obvious name. - oahiyeel talk 04:17, 4 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Why the "Team" part? Officially, there are "Brawn GP Formula One Team", "Force India F1 Team" and "Renault F1 Team" – yet none of those have their articles named with the "Team" part. Darth Newdar talk 07:48, 4 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, my bad. I meant to say Campos Meta. :) - oahiyeel talk 08:36, 4 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I would still say wait until a more concrete idea is given of what they're actually called, or how they're referred to by the FIA. But if the majority want to move it for now, then I'm not greatly bothered by that. Bretonbanquet (talk) 19:50, 4 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I'm pretty much in agreement with the above. It's clear that the team is no longer called Campos Grand Prix (if they ever officially were), so in that sense we should rename the article, but some of these new teams have changed their names three or four times since they got accepted. I feel like we're having this big discussion about whether or not to move now when it's fairly likely they're just going to change their name again in March and we'll be doing it all over again. Butif the majority want to move the article then I'm in agreement with that. Eightball (talk) 01:44, 5 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
It doesn't really take much effort to move a page does it. Anybody looking for the page will look for Campos Meta, so by WP:COMMONNAME this page should be moved, particularly now that my initial fears over sponsorship have been dismissed. - mspete93 [talk] 16:45, 5 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

GP2 Results

[edit]

Seeing as Manor's F3 results are included on their page, shouldn't the GP2 results of Campos (when it ran under that name) be on this page, to allow for consistency? SchueyFan (talk) 17:47, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Manor's results aren't now :). The GP2 results are available at Barwa Addax, which is where the GP2 team's history is documented. - mspete93 [talk] 19:07, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Manor's results are back again, even though the F1 team is now called Virgin... I don't mind which way it should be done, but I think it should be consistent for both teams. SchueyFan (talk) 04:17, 1 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Manor's results came back again because of the history merge - I've sorted that out again. - mspete93 [talk] 18:28, 1 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

VW buyout

[edit]

Prisonermonkeys here - I'm not logged in because the university library computers won't allow it. I'm posting this because Volkswagen and Colin Kolles have denied reports that they will be seeking to acquire Campos. I can't speak for the part about Campos stepping down, Cabarante taking control, the team looking to be re-named or Bernie Ecclestone's involvement in the matter, but as it was all in the one reference which was later denied, I'm pretty sure we can write it off as speculatory. -Prisonermonkeys —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.180.1.214 (talk) 03:41, 12 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Name change

[edit]

This has not been confirmed yet, nor approved by the FIA. This should be reverted. - mspete93 16:50, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Seconded. Prisonermonkeys (talk) 01:42, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Also, I just had to do a major revert - someone decided to move the page to Hispania F1. Wait for the final entry list. Prisonermonkeys (talk) 01:59, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The team has confirmed the name change now, so I would support making the relevant changes now, regardless of what the FIA's stance is (after all, it can always be moved again).--Midgrid(talk) 12:55, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If nobody objects I'll go ahead and do it, providing it lets me. - mspete93 16:29, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
It won't let me move it, so I've placed {{db-move}} on Hispania Racing to get it speedied. Have to hope that nobody does a cut and paste move in the meantime. - mspete93 16:40, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oh good, someone's moved it to Hispania Racing F1 Team. This is still not right, but I won't revert it. It should be just Hispania Racing, a bit like Brawn GP F1 Team is shortened to Brawn GP. - mspete93 16:50, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
And now I've found this: http://adamcooperf1.com/2010/03/03/campos-to-be-hrt-not-hispania/ - mspete93 16:55, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Completed change of Campos Meta and related articles to Hispania F1 Racing team. Sorry if I messed up but someone did something funny to the Hispania Racing page. Eladkse (talk) 16:59, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No worries. That was me, trying to get that page deleted because it wouldn't let me move it there. I've now deleted that request because of what I found above. Let's agree not to move it again until we know more. Team to be launched tomorrow. - mspete93 17:03, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
pete: the old team name was ALWAYS Campos Meta 1, an under construction splash page on their website doesn't change anything. Eightball (talk) 19:39, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The team is named HRT, not short for anything, the full name of the team is HRT, as shown on the FIA official entry list. Promotion material may say Hispania Racing F1 Team, but the team is HRT. Also, why is the article classed as 'low'? Its a current constructor so it should be classed as 'High'. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.98.209.117 (talk) 00:11, 11 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The official entry list also shows Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro but we all know that isn't the oficial name of the team. The FIA entry is just a formality. Cidcn (talk) 18:12, 16 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
What? That is the official name of the team! - mspete93 18:21, 16 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

HRT

[edit]

The introduction to the article and the infobox both now use HRT as the official name of the team, and yet the title of the page has not been changed to reflect this. As far as I can tell, HRT is indeed the new official team name, so I propose that the page be moved to the new title. Christophee (talk) 12:19, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move

[edit]
The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

Page moved to HRT F1. Vegaswikian (talk) 20:50, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hispania Racing → HRT F1 Team – The team has changed its official name. Wild mine (talk) 12:41, 26 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support moving it, but we usually leave 'Team' out of the article names, so I would prefer HRT F1. - mspete93 11:20, 27 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Why leave the "Team" out but "F1" in? HRT F1 isn't the name of the team. I'd prefer HRT (Formula One team) or something similarly bracket-ised to "HRT F1". HRT F1 Team for me. JonChappleTalk 21:54, 30 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Brackets should be avoided where they are unnecessary. We use F1 as a disambiguator no problem at Renault F1 and Williams F1 - mspete93 22:00, 30 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Williams is a different scenario as the team actually use the name Williams F1. Fair point on Renault, but I can't see that name sticking for much longer with the Lotus tie-up – it'll either end up at whatever Dany Bahar et al name the team when they exercise the right to call themselves Lotus or at Renault in Formula One, as has already been proposed. I won't oppose a move to HRT F1, but it's not the common name. JonChappleTalk 22:10, 30 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
But HRT use F1 in their name as well, that was my point. Williams would be the common name, in the same way that HRT would be. In both cases the common name cannot be used, unlike at Sauber. - mspete93 22:22, 30 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
HRT F1 sounds fine to me - if it's the name the team are now using outside the FIA, then I support changing it. QueenCake (talk) 19:40, 28 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
HRT F1. Don't use brackets unless there is no other method of disambiguation, and the F1 achieves that handily. --Falcadore (talk) 22:54, 30 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I'd go with HRT F1, especially since the T in HRT stand for 'team'. We don't need any implication of "Hispania Racing Team F1 Team". Agreed that brackets aren't to be used unless a specific disambiguator is required. Bretonbanquet (talk) 22:55, 30 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support move to "HRT F1".--Midgrid(talk) 23:12, 30 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Tho TBH I'd know them better as Hispania... TREKphiler any time you're ready, Uhura 07:19, 31 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I agree. Wild mine (talk) 13:36, 2 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

HRT

[edit]

Shouldnt their be mention on the top of the page that "HRT" stands for "Hispania Racing Team". Speedy Question Mark (talk) 15:31, 19 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't any more. A la BP, it's just HRT F1 Team, not standing for anything. Hispania is but a distant memory... — Jon C.ॐ 20:39, 19 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The first line does mention Hispania Racing in any case. And by the way, evading yet another block by creating yet another new user isn't going to do you any favours as far as building trust goes. Pyrope 13:43, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

HRT?

[edit]

HRT? I really am lost about the name of the team. What does it stand for, I used to think it stood for "Hispania Racing Team". But people now say that it stands for nothing? please help? Speedy Question Mark (Talk) 00:28, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

As when you asked above, it still doesn't stand for anything. — Jon C.ॐ 08:18, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Change infobox

[edit]

The infobox need to be change to --> Former F1 team--JerichoNation (talk) 14:19, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

When it's officially announced. As always, source, please. Britmax (talk) 17:30, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Its officially announced..it's all over the news dude..go to BBC Sport or Sky Sport website. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JerichoNation (talk • contribs) 03:12, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

HRT F1

[edit]

HRT F1 should have a former team template should'nt it? Speedy Question Mark (talk) 16:41, 29 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I believe the editors are holding off because HRT isn't officially dissolved yet, just bankrupt - which means the team may be bought out or it will completely dissolve in the near future. F1 teams have a tendency of making official announcement when they no longer officially exist. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.223.248.133 (talk) 22:50, 1 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Scorpion Racing

[edit]

Please do not include details of the proposed Scorpion Racing entry in this article (or any related to it, includnig the 2013 season page of the F112 car article). If you read the sources supplied, you will see that this is all still speculative, and that it is the opinion of those involved - most notably Bernie Ecclestone - that the Scorpion Racing bid is too late to race in 2013.

Some of you need to remember that Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, not a news source. Just because something gets reported, that doesn't automatically mean that it is notable enough to be included in an article. Please wait until such time as Scoprion are confirmed to be joining the 2013 grid before you add anything here (or anywhere else). Prisonermonkeys (talk) 22:48, 30 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
