2010 Formula 1 Season - Official Discussion Thread

F1 Teams set to have mass launch in late January: http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/80509

I like it when we have teams launch cars every 4 or 5 days

[JoostLamers]

Should be 1 team every day! Every day another team, that's cool, I think 4-5 days is too long

JA: FIA might implement mandatory 2 stop rules

[swca92]

Mandatory??? That would mess up the whole point of banning refuelling.

Renault is going to announce Kovalainen as Kubica's teammate tomorrow.

let's make this clear ok, refueling of cars is banned for next year....but pitting to change tyres is not - teams may or may not change tyres during the course of the race (? - not sure on that one)

now, what phil posted now says that, teams are not allowed to refuel but must have at least 2 pit stops for tyres during the course of the race.......

is correct?

Welcome to the official Lotus F1 Racing Twitter page. Watch this space for exciting updates, starting with a big one early next week!

I'm guessing they will announce both drivers.

Di Grassi to Lotus then..

[swca92]

Nah, I think Trulli and Kobayashi are off there, I certainly hope Kamui gets a drive somewhere, though I'm getting nervous now.

[phil1993]

Lolwut Joost, di Grassi will go to Virgin, Virgin said there will be an announcement next week and Booth said that there's an 80pc chance that Lucas will join

Toshiba to Sauber ?

[phil1993]

If I were a betting man:

Virgin: Glock (confirmed), di Grassi
Renault: Kubica (confirmed), Kovalainen
Lotus: Trulli, Kobayashi
Sauber: Fisi, Klien
