Anyway, back on-topic: it'll be interesting to see how Michael Schmacher goes after several years of retirement. I suspect he's still going to be extremely fast, assuming the Mercedes car is half-decent.
With the 2010 Grid of drivers its going to be crazy, you got Alonso, Hamilton, Button & Shumi all world champions and then you got the other good drivers Kubica, Vettel, Massa, Barchiello, Rosberg... i think its going to be interesting and no re-fueling either so that will play a big part into the race strategy, only tyre changes allowed.

BMW purchased the Sauber team from Peter Sauber three years ago, however, opted to leave the sport at the end of 2009 after a disappointing campaign.

With BMW out of the picture and no one stepping up to buy the team, Sauber once again took full ownership of the outfit.

But despite BMW's withdrawal, the team will still compete in this year's Championship under the 'BMW-Sauber' name.

"It is not planned before the start of the season," said Sauber. "We entered the 2010 season as BMW Sauber and this is the name."


They're going to use Ferrari engines in 2010

This is Renault's old livery which they used in the 70's, way before Jordan

i remember an article on yellow F1 cars and how they all bombed big time .

And it was true for Jordan, as they pretty much went bust in the end there in the yellow livery .

losing Alonso wont help Renault either.

cant wait to the first race !!!


also read in a news article that Schuey's deal is for 3 years and maybe beyond . So good to see if he can match it with the current world champions !
