Good Man

[al4x]

do 'whop ever is going to own/owns renault' still have a second seat?

[Jabberwocky]

I so wanted to be a Lotus supporter next year I just can not do it with such poor driver choice

[texasmr2]

An entirely new team and chassis need experienced drivers so I believe that Trulli and Kovi are just what Lotus needs, I will always support Lotus no matter who drives for them.

[vaptin]

That is a good lineup.

[cap-dude]

Glock and Di Grassi is good line-up. Yet people complain about Kovy and Truili for Lotus

Interesting that Di Grassi and Glock battled for the 2007 GP2 crown, and now they're team-mates


Anyways, driver line-ups

Mercedes
-Nico Rosberg
-*Micheal Schumacher (if not, Nick Heidfeld)

Red Bull
-Sebastien Vettel
-Mark Webber

McLaren
-Lewis Hamilton
-Jenson Button

Ferrari
-Felipe Massa
-Fernando Alonso

Williams
-Nico Hulkenburg
-Rubens Barrichello

Renault
-Robert Kubica
- (possibly Kobayashi along with Panasonic sponsorship)

Force India
-Adrian Sutil
-Vitantonio Luzzi

Toro Rosso
-Sebastien Buemi
- Jamie Algusuari *TBC

Manor
-Timo Glock
-Lucas Di Grassi

Campos
-Bruno Senna
-*(it's between Pedro De La Rosa, Pastor Maldanando, and Vitaly Petrov)

Lotus
-Jarno Truili
-Heikki Kovalinen

Sauber
Possibly Nick Heidfeld and Giancarlo Fisichella

USF1 (probably not competing)



Also, this image

The 4 drivers at the bottom for left to right, Luiz Razia, Timo Glock, Lucas Di Grassi, Alvaro Parente.
Luiz Razia who? Look at it this way, the guy only ever scored one point in GP2, and then the next day won the race from the reverse pole position. How I don't even know, miracle win! But after the race, no one could find the race winner, why? Because no one knew who the hell he was Razia was one of those drivers who was always last or 2nd last.

But anyway, I would love to shout pay driver. But surely that much sponsorship can't be coming from Brazil. There are a lot of better Brazilian drivers out there. So why is he sat there as a test driver?

Anyways, driver line-ups

Sauber
Possibly Nick Heidfeld and Giancarlo Fisichella

Pete's already he said he's fielding a newbie too.
Koby is bound to be at either renault of sauber, bringing his sponsorship with him.

But if he does go to renault, as is heavily hinted, who will saubers newbie be?

and Di Grassi is good line-up. Yet people complain about Kovy and Truili for Lotus

Interesting that Di Grassi and Glock battled for the 2007 GP2 crown, and now they're team-mates

Campos still in talks with de la Rosa

By Pablo Elizalde Tuesday, December 15th 2009, 10:15 GMT

Pedro de la RosaCampos team president Jose Ramon Carabante says the Spanish squad is still in talks with Pedro de la Rosa to fill the second seat for its debut season.

Although team boss Adrian Campos had said it would be almost impossible to bring de la Rosa because of the lack of Spanish backers, Carabante insisted the Spanish driver is still on its list.

He admitted, however, that signing de la Rosa would depend on finding the money to cover the budget without having to ask the veteran driver to bring sponsors with him.

"Talks with Pedro de la Rosa are not broken," Carabante told Onda Cero radio. "It would be a dream if he was our driver next season.

"As of today there's a chance that the seat left could go to a Spanish driver and, of course, for us the dream would be if it was Pedro de la Rosa. Talks with him have never been broken."

He added: "We would have Pedro for free if it was necessary, without him having to bring anything. With the budget covered, I can guarantee you that Adrian Campos's first option... is to bring Pedro because he's a person we love and we would be thrilled to have him in our team, but it depends a lot on the sponsors.

"As of today, Pedro is the only Spanish driver we are considering."

Carabante conceded that Venezuelan Pastor Maldonado and Russian Vitaly Petrov are still the most likely candidates to partner Bruno Senna at the team next year.

"There are other options with drivers backed by countries, like Pastor Maldonado, who has 20,000 companies who want to join, or Vitaly Petrov," he said.

"There is some other option, but our target is to sign the second driver before the end of the year and we hope to achieve that."

Carabante, whose team's car for 2010 will be built by Dallara, said Campos is aiming to build its own chassis in its Murcia base in the future.

He also revealed the team is in talks with Ferrari over an engine deal for 2011.

"Our intention is to have Ferrari engines after a year with Cosworth. It's all progressing well," he said.

It would be smart to bring him in if possible, 2 new guys is risky enough for an established team, let alone one with no F1 experience.

Sauber
Possibly Nick Heidfeld and Giancarlo Fisichella

One of those two would be a definite i reckon, possibly if Nick ended up staying they wouldn't bother with Fisi and get a youngster in, maybe Kobayashi or even a relative unknown like Parente.

[Virginrace]

Nick Heidfeld and Giancarlo Fisichella are better line up for bmw.
