Thread: F1: 2010 Revised Entry List

well theres a bunch of drama before the season even started.

here is the article from F1.com

The official entry list for the 2010 FIA Formula One World Championship was republished by the FIA on Thursday evening. Following weeks of speculation the sport’s governing body has confirmed the North Carolina-based US team will not compete, which means 12 teams will line up on the grid at next week’s season-opener in Bahrain.

A subsequent statement released by the FIA said: “The US team have indicated that they will not be in a position to participate in the 2010 FIA Formula One World Championship. Having considered the various options, the FIA confirms that it is not possible for a replacement team to be entered for the championship at this late stage.

“In the coming days the FIA will announce details of a new selection process to identify candidates to fill any vacancies existing at the start of the 2011 season.”

Other points to note are that Campos have changed their name to HRT following last month’s acquisition by Spanish businessman - and existing shareholder - Jose Ramon Carabante. The team are yet to reveal who will be team mate to already announced driver Bruno Senna.

The entry list also confirmed BMW Sauber’s place on the 2010 grid, with drivers Pedro de la Rosa and Kamui Kobayashi set to take up driver numbers 22 and 23.

Quality over quantity any day! As long as we have teams like McLaren, Ferrari, Red Bull, Mercedes, Williams, Sauber, Force India, Renault - the sport is ok. Lotus and Virgin will need time to develop their programs. The championships will be between the first 4 teams mentioned anyway.
