F1 2010 Fever

If you have not been following news about Formula since last season ended, this article is just what you are looking for. We take a look at the changes made for the upcoming season, allowing you to catch up on what has been missed.

Lotus Racing

Out With the Old and In With the New.

Since the last season, there has been several blows to Formula 1. First off, two major players have pulled out of the Series. Both Toyota and BMW have decided to pull the plug and back out of Formula 1. Whilst there is a team on the grid that is named BMW Sauber, it no longer has backing from BMW. USF1 has also pulled out just before the season is about to begin.

Despite major manufacturers pulling out due to economic reasons, there is also an influx of new players. Virgin Racing, Hispanic Racing Team and Lotus Racing will be participating in F1 2010.

F1 2010 : The Rookies

The Senna name is back in F1 for the first time since 1994, courtesy of Bruno. The likes of Michael Schumacher, Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton are always going to command the most attention in F1. But we shouldn’t overlook the rookie field of 2010, which is one of the most promising we’ve seen in years. And it includes the return of a name which is even more famous than those three.

Nico Hülkenberg

2009 form: GP2 champion, 100 points, five wins

If there is such a thing as a textbook route into F1, Nico Hülkenberg demonstrated it.

His 2006-07 A1 Grand Prix campaign for Team Germany was a tour de force – he was never seriously rivalled on his way to the championship. He went on to mimic Lewis Hamilton’s feat of winning the F3 Euroseries and GP2 championships in successive seasons with the crack ART squad.
