Best start to clear an 11th space on the list. here’s hoping, anyway.
RedAndy
10th February 2009, 13:15
2010 could well be the polar opposite of 2009 in that we’ve had next to no driver moves this year, but next year we could easily see a big reshuffle in some of the big names.
I have to disagree with Keith’s assessment that Williams have let Rosberg down – in my opinion it’s the other way around. Nico always looked promising, but last year he was nowhere near convincing enough against Nakajima, throwing away a couple of critical scoring opportunities, whereas Nakajima dragged the car into the points on a couple of occasions that it should perhaps not have been there. If Rosberg does not improve in 2009 he may struggle to find a drive, as Williams will be compelled to keep Nakajima (or another Japanese driver) if they stick to their Toyota engine deal, and certainly young Hulkenberg looks promising for a race seat sometime soon.
Paul
11th February 2009, 12:03
Hasn’t Vettel got a longer deal with Red Bull then?
Michael Roberts
17th February 2009, 20:02
Got to agree with Paul that Vettel must be on a multi-year contract otherwise McLaren will snap him up in 2010. Then we’d find out how good Lewis is….
Sue
5th December 2009, 13:16
I think we already know how good hamilton is. If he gets a decent car to drive, instead of a shed! i think the rest of the line up is unimportant because he’ll be the front runner anyway.
Will be good to see him race against Button thoe because he will probably be a better backup driver for Hamilton than Kovalainen

7 new teams have submitted applications for the 2010 season. They are as follows:
Campos
Litespeed
Lola
March Racing Organisation
Prodrive
Superfund
Team US F1
Its unlikely that all 7 teams will be granted entry to next season however with the grid being expanded to 26 slots, at least 3 of them will be there.

The 2010 entries, apart from the FOTA ones, are these:
» AT&T WilliamsF1:
Toyota engine contract in place, alternatively with Cosworth
» Campos Meta 1:
possibly running Dallara-designed car, likely with Cosworth engines
» Prodrive:
allegedly with Aston Martin-badged customer Mercedes engines
» Team US F1:
Cosworth engines confirmed
» Lola Grand Prix:
Cosworth engines confirmed
» Litespeed GP:
with Mike Gascoyne
» March Racing Organisation:
likely with Cosworth engines; perhaps a joint effort with N.Technology
» Team Superfund:
with Alex Wurz; Cosworth engines confirmed
» Epsilon Euskadi:
with Joan Villadelprat and Sergio Rinland; likely with Cosworth engines
» Brabham:
backed by Franz Hilmer of Formtech, and possibly Colin Kolles; acquired the former Super Aguri base; no engine partner announced, but likely Cosworth
» N.Technology:
likely with Cosworth engines; perhaps a joint effort with March

Alonso is going to Ferrari. Having a 2010 contract doesn’t mean you are going to be racing for that team, it just means that team is going to have to pay you off.
Massa is staying at Ferrari if fit to race in 2010 otherwise they will keep Raikkonen.
If Raikkonen does leave Ferrari then he will probably go back to McLaren and replace Kovalianen.

Arshy_toyota fan
18th October 2009, 13:20
Proton only bought a portion of the old lotus rnd and technology. and If you drive a Proton, you would know that it over steers all the time at any corner, when you try to take it in sport mode. So Proton owning Lotus is not the point, and BTW, the Lotus F1 team has nothing to do with Proton.
can anyone confirm if Timo has the contract for 2010. I hear Toyota is trying to get KIMI in their team. who gets out then…?

28th September 2009, 13:55
My take on 2010 line ups
McLaren
Hamilton + Raikkonen
Ferrari
Alonso + Massa
Brawn GP
Button + Rosberg
Red Bull
Webber + Vettel
Renault
Kovalainen + Kubica
Toro Rosso
Buemi + Alguersuari
Williams
Barrichello + Hulkenberg
Force India
Sutil + Liuzzi
Toyota
Glock + Trulli
USF1
Wurz + Summerton
Manor
Klien + Davidson
Campos
De La Rosa + Petrov
Lotus
Fauzy + Senna
BMW Sauber (Qaudbak)?
Heidfeld + Fisichella
Rhys
29th September 2009, 10:18
Its hard to predit the new teams, as they are not so heavily rumoured.
Brawn
Button+Rosberg
Red Bull
Webber+Vettel
Mclaren
Hamilton+Kubica
Ferrari
Alonso+Massa
Toyota
Trulli+Glock
Williams
Barrechello+Hulkemburg
Renault
Riakkonen+Grosjean
Force India
Sutil+Liuzzi
Torro Rosso
Buemi+Alguesuari
BMW Sauber(Or whatever they’ll be called)
Heidfeld+Klien
Heres the rumours for the new teams…
US F1
*Jaques Villeneuve
*Juan Pablo Montoya
*Danica Patrick
*Brendon Hartley
*Scott Speed
My guess is that it will not be Villeneuve or Montoya, probably not Danica either. It may well end up being 2 drivers not mentioned above.
Campos F1
*Pedro De La Rosa
*Jaime Alguesuari
*Alex Wurz
*Lucas Di Grassi
I think:
De la Rosa+Di Grassi
Manor
I have actually heard nothing about this team. Litterally nothing, apart from their entry.
Lotus
The same goes for Lotus unfortunately.
Dennis
2nd October 2009, 11:57
Well Red Bull, Toro Rosso and Ferrari are certain.
Redbull
Vettel + Webber
Toro Rosso
Buemi + Alguersari
Ferrari
Alonso + Massa
The other teams have a few certainties but a lot of guesses here.
McClaren
Hamilton (certain) + Raikkonen ( if not of to go compete in the rally championship)
Williams
Hülkenberg (quite certain, really exciting!) + Barrichello (if Button and Brawn Gp can work things out)
Brawn Gp
Button (almost certain) + Rosberg (rumour, could also go to McClaren but will leave Williams)
BMW
Heidfeld + I have no idea
Toyota
Glock (not certain but seems like it) + Anyone but Trulli, possibly Kovalainen.
Renault
Grosjean (not certain but he doesn’t do bad) + Kubica (probably the announcement for next week).
Force India
Sutil+Liuzzi (no idea about both of them but especially Sutil isn’t doing bad, although he does destroy a few cars more than he should)
The other teams and drivers: no idea.
Some drivers to take into account: Vitaly Petrov, Lucas Di Grassi (excellent Gp2 drivers), Neel Jani ( I think he was talking with one of the new teams, don’t hear much about him anymore), Andy Soucek (possibly Campos??).

So there we go, I expect we’ll see a lot of the teams going for the experienced drivers as opposed to the rookies, given the lack of testing prior to the 2010 season. I think the least likely of those drivers to be correct is Villeneuve, but he is a World Champion and has a lot of experience so maybe he is worth a punt for one of the new teams…time will tell, what does everyone else think?

personally i cant see kobayashi going to lotus as they apparently have a guy called, Fairuz Fauzy
Kobayashi to go to Compos instead of Pedro De La Rosa as he will stay at McLaren as a test driver

Mclaren
Hamilton ( has 2010 contract)
Raikonnen ( most likely candidate if they can agree on wages)
Kovalienen ( not very likely to stay they don’t want him because he is underachieving)
Pedro de la rosa ( will probably take kovalienens place if mclaren can’t get anyone if not he will join senna at campos)
Rosberg ( rumoured to move here but more likely to go to brawn)
Brawn gp
Button ( likely to stay at brawn If they can pay him)
Rosberg ( most likely person to partner button)
Ferrari
Massa ( 2010 contract)
Alonso ( 2010 contract)
Williams
Hükenberg ( 2010 contract)
Barrichelo ( 2010 contract)
Red bull
Webber ( 2010 contract)
Vettel ( 2010 contract)
Torro rosso
Buemi ( 2010 contract)
Algusuari ( very likely to appear on the torro rosso team 2010)
Renault
Kubica ( 2010 contract)
Glock ( very likely candidate after toyota quits, kovalienen could come back and bourdais may stay but the first 2 look more appealing and likely)
Force India
Liuzzi ( will replace fisichella)
Sutil ( will stay for the season)
New teams
Lotus
Trulli ( experienced, proven to be reasonably quick and former teamate to kobayashi)
Kobayashi ( quick and young, hey he held up button for a while, but is a bit inexperienced)
Campos
Senna ( 2010 contract)
De la rosa ( most likely person to partner to senna if he doesn’t stay at mclaren)
Usf1
Not sure possibly an American maybe summerton with bourdais
Manor
Not sure a Brit davidson probably

Sebastian Buemi is confirmed for 2010 at Toro Rosso as well.

14th November 2009, 20:03
A new update on my predictions
Campos meta: de la rosa is unlikely to go petrov will take his place
Glock will go to manor instead of Renault meaning kovalienen will probably be there
Button may go to mclaren it’s 50-50
That’s all

This is awful news button at mclaren? This will mean jenson will get #1 seat? The only good aspect of this I can see is that it will now prove how much of a better driver lewis is than button.
Sue

Completelt agree with you. Hamilton will run rings around button in the same car.
I Like Button, but have never really rated him as a supreme driver like Hamilton, Massa and Alonso. Think he is sure to be outclassed by the brilliant Hamilton. I think it’s good news for Hamilton thoe as Button will be a better backup driver for him than Kovalainen was.

sorry if im sounding stupid …. how do the driver numbers work for 2010 …. will button have number 1 on his car with hamilton as number 2 etc? i guess the answer is in the words ‘driver numbers’
or do brawn (mercedes) keep the 1 and 2? i am only confused because similarly the constructors winners always get the best slots in the pit lane as reward and i assume they will still hang on to that privelege
Thanks
ovlusly
29th November 2009, 11:19
car number stays with the drivers so Button no1 and hamilton no2
however the constructors slots on the pitlane will remain unaltered after the drivers deals are all finished with merc gp at no1 red bull 2 and mclaren 3

Question…Kobayashi is good I know that but Nakajima? Not good enough to be in any of the new teams? Actually I was hoping for an all Japanese line-up at Toyota. But they pull out.

Has anyone actually noticed that there is supposedly 25 drivers, but have missed out the number 13?

Yeah, that’s been happening for a very long time. It’s been many years since a driver had number 13. It’s about superstitions.

In the great design of things you actually secure an A just for effort. Where you confused me personally ended up being in your specifics. As people say, the devil is in the details… And that couldn’t be more true here. Having said that, allow me inform you what exactly did give good results. The article (parts of it) is actually incredibly persuasive and this is most likely the reason why I am taking the effort to comment. I do not make it a regular habit of doing that. 2nd, while I can certainly notice the jumps in reason you make, I am not really confident of exactly how you appear to connect your ideas which make the actual final result. For right now I will subscribe to your issue however hope in the foreseeable future you actually link the dots much better.
