The absolutely last, final 2010 entry list. Probably.

No place for Stefan GP, an unfortunate renaming for Campos Meta and a footnote on USF1, who appear destined to be no more than that.

1. Jenson Button (GBR)                           McLaren
2. Lewis Hamilton (GBR)

3. Michael Schumacher (GER)                 Mercedes
4. Nico Rosberg (GER)

5. Sebastian Vettel (GER)                       Red Bull Racing
6. Mark Webber (AUS)

7. Felipe Massa (BRA)                            Ferrari
8. Fernando Alonso [...]

Someone, somewhere wants a message from you

Saturday 27th February 2010, Stefan GP headquarters, Belgrade:

“Stefan GP would like to inform the public that the containers we sent on the beginning of February arrived in Bahrain. During next week we will show our Stefan Formula One car to the press as the final evidence that should put us on [...]

USFGone

At least, it appears that way.

Several Argentinian media outlets are reporting that contracted driver Jose Maria Lopez is actively seeking another F1 drive, with support from Bernie Ecclestone, having been told yesterday by USF1 sporting director Peter Windsor that the team would not be able to give him machinery with which to make his F1 [...]

On new cars and new teams

F1 launch season is practically at an end, with all but two of the teams entered for the 2010 world championship having revealed their challengers.  If you’ve been meaning to seek out pictures of the Ferrari F10, McLaren MP4-25, Williams FW32, Renault R30, Scuderia Toro Rosso STR5, Sauber C29, Red Bull RB6, Mercedes MGP W01, [...]

O brother, where art thou?

Better late than never, big guy.

I wonder where Ralf got the idea from?  Rumours that the idea came from letters delivered to his home address are thought to be wide of the mark, as is the idea that said letters were advertising the soon to be vacant [...]

New Ferrari and McLaren break cover

In order to keep this little article halfway sensible in length and appearance, you’re about to be linked to within an inch of your lives.  Be ready.  The links are for comparative purposes, so if all you’re interested in is pictures of new cars, you’re quite safe to ignore them all.  Speaking of pictures, a [...]

Man out of time - a quick catch-up

There are reasons why nothing has been posted for a little while, all of them rather too mundane to detain you with here.  Time that might otherwise have been spent doing this had to be spent doing something else instead.  There is, of course, a quick and easy fix: match my current salary.

Shall we have [...]

Beware the unexpected Spaniard

If it seems like only yesterday that Giancarlo Fisichella was being reported as favourite for the vacant Sauber drive, that’s because it really, genuinely was.

Sometimes these things make too much sense.  Fisi spent much of 2009 showing well for Force India, before forging late-season links with Ferrari that saw him given a testing and development [...]

Does Schumi make sense for Mercedes?

No matter how unlikely it might seem, the speculation linking Michael Schumacher to a full-time racing return with Mercedes Grand Prix in 2010 refuses to go away.

Whether you pay any attention to it is another thing entirely, and depends upon where you take your news from.  If you read The Times, you’ll know that Mercedes [...]

Honestly, you look away for two days…

An awful lot of things happened these past few days, and I was ill so didn’t get to blog about any of them.  The topics that merit further attention will receive it in due course, so let’s recap quickly:

Mercedes have bought a controlling stake in Brawn GP.  The team will race in 2010 as Mercedes [...]
