I Mentioned before Kimi apparently going back to Mclaren in 2010 which opens the door for the worst kept secret in Formula 1, Alonso to Ferrari.

That leaves Kovalainen without a seat and Renault with a seat open. I really don't see it happening though, Heikki has had a great car last year and the same one lewis has this year and has been miles behind, In short Kovalainen is not a team leader and thats what Renault will need.

BMW Sauber have been bought out by the Qadbak group who also own Notts County, they currently are the "14th team" on a 13 team grid. Bernie Ecclestone has been trying to get the teams to agree a 14 team grid and then there are rumours that US F1 are struggling to be ready.

US F1 will be an american team built in america built by American drivers, a gerat sentiment but ultimately doomed to failure, they need someone with good F1 knowhow and a test driver who knows the circuit inside out to develop the car, they've been linked with Scott Speed who was rubbish for Toro Rosso.

Campos F1 have been linked with Pedro de la Rosa who has years of experience of testing and racing and also with Bruno Senna's nephew who was linked to Brawn last year, that could be a good line up of an up and coming racer and a guy with the neccesary experience to get the car ready and get the job done.

Rosberg has been linked with Brawn due to Mclaren apparently looking to buy a stake in the Brawn outfit and wanting a German driver there, what that means for Rubens i'm not sure.

Manor have apparently gotten Virgin as a sponsor as Branson thinks he can get better exposure for less money, Better exposure than leading the championship? ok then good luck with that. Regardless of whether Brawn are challengers next season they will likely be in front of Manor, I hope Manor do great as they are based in Sheffield and carry the Yorkshire flag on their logo, lets face it they wont waste money being a Yorkshire Team. They certainly have a history of winning, 171 races and 19 championships, thir previous drivers include the last two Formula 1 world champions - Lewis Hamilton and Kimi Raikkonen - as well as BMW's Robert Kubica and Williams's Kazuki Nakajima so they seem to have an idea of picking good drivers.

"Lotus" are back on the F1 grid although not made by Lotus, still its good to have the name there even if they have little by way of link to their heritage. in fact they might have ended up on court if they tried to use the monikre Team Lotus instead of Lotus F1 team, backed by the Malaysian governemnt and Proton it will be interesting how ready they are having only been granted a grid slot on September 12th. Proton in F1, thats something i never thought i'd have to write/say/imagine. They will be made by Litespeed a company with 25 years racing experience and Mike Gascoyne's MGI Ltd and if they can get the right drivers it will be interesting if they can challenge for Mid Table.
