The 2010 Formula 1 season is ready to start. In just one week the teams will be arriving to Bahrain and we still have 2 teams missing from action and one jumping in the back raising his hand for attention.
On one side Hispania Racing (formerly Campos Racing) has announced that this Thursday (March 4th) will make the launch of the team and will present the Dallara car powered by Cosworth and the drivers Bruno Sena and Karun Chandhok.
But in the other hand, USF1 is going down and after FIA’s Charlie Whiting recent visit to USF1′s Charlotte base, it is rumoured that the governing body might revoke the entry. And this can clear the road to Stefan GP that have the 2010 Toyotas ready to be on the track with Villeneuve and Nakajima.
Hope we can have solid news soon.
USF1 Car
Another new team unveils the car for the 2010 season, only Campos and USF1 still missing.
Enjoy the great livery of the Lotus Racing car.
There’s a Serbian Entrepeneur named Zoran Stefanovic that build a Formula 1 team with all the parts that Toyota left behind and he wants that his team can be part of the Formula 1 2010 championship.
Zoran Stefanovic believes there are two entries which may fail to get on the grid in 2010, and says he is ready to send his cars to Bahrain and start the season.
They will test the car designed by Toyota for the 2010 season in Portugal next February 25, and announced the team will have a supply of engines and the support from Toyota Motorsport.
In my opinion Campos, Lotus and USF1, lost the opportunity to have all these support and be ready for the 2010 season.
Stefan GP Office
The Formula 1 2009 season was (in my opinion) the worst in recent years, but still better than the 2000 – 2005 seasons.
Now, 2010 is full of changes around the Formula 1 world, Jean Todt is now the president of the FIA, and I hope that this change can bring positive changes and ideas to the sport.
New teams are set to enter the grid, the return of the Lotus team to the tracks, a new venture from a United States team, and the evolution of the Campos and Manor teams from GP2 to Formula 1.
The future of the Sauber team remains unclear. Qadbak has purchased the team after BMW has dropped the Formula 1 program, but as it stands, they cannot compete as 14 teams in Formula One are not permitted.
Now, the bright light for Sauber is that Toyota has anounced that they are out of Formula 1, these can give Qadback/Sauber a position in the grid for next year.
Update: Sauber has been confirmed a spot for 2010, great news!!
Update: Manor team will be renamed to Virgin Racing.
Update: Schumacher is back!, I think that he must leave the opportunity to someone else. :p
Update: Stefan GP is ready to send their cars to Bahrain and take the spot of any new team that fails to show.
Update: Campos will be renamed Hispania Racing F1 Team
