It was puzzling that no one wanted to buy Toyota's outfit. It was a almost ready 2010 car and reliable motor. But it did come late for the new teams which had already established themselves and started on their own cars. I cant wait to see USF1's car later this month. Virgin Racing unveiled their car yesterday on the web.

I heard Lotus was initially offered and interested, however, they refused to because they would have had to "dispense of key personnel".....

I'm guessing the guys at TMG still got beef with Gascoyne

Well the 2010 season is finally here and it started this morning 6:00 am (for us Americans w/ the second practice). Was i the only one in the forum to watch it? The new teams really are a concern with their very slow times of 6+ seconds off the pace, and this whole no refueling the cars really upset the cars on the bumpy parts of the track with the extra weight. Now to digest the the practice times and put my fantasy picks in for the race.

Man, once Redbull fixes their mechanical mistakes this championship may just be over. if it weren't for two problems Vettel would be sitting on top with 50 points. I hope they get it sorted out for the next race this kid deserves a win.

this time it was purely his mistake, no matter what they say about brakes or what you can see from the water splashing onto the camera that he didnt see the wet patch appraoching the corner and went straight through it lost traction in that wheel couldnt brake and went straight off.

p.s. im just waiting for the new teams to find pace and make this years championship really interesting!

maybe you didn't see the sparks come out of his left front wheel coming into the braking zone?
