Natacha Gachnang, a first cousin of fellow Swiss and Toro Rosso driver Sebastien Buemi, is eying a formula one test with the new 2010 entrant Campos.

As we mentioned yesterday, current Formula Two racer Gachnang told Spain's Marca sports newspaper that she has "been speaking" with team chief Adrian Campos for whom she raced for in the past.

The 21-year-old said a test is "certainly possible".

"He believes in me after we spent time together in the Spanish championship of Formula 3," said Gachnang.

If she goes on to secure a race seat, Gachnang would be the fifth woman to attempt to qualify for grands prix.

The most recent was Italian Giovanna Amati, in 1992 with team Brabham.
