    10 seats still available...very exciting, but I am glad for Trulli :

    No real suprises, but any reason why Schumacher is no.7 and Rosberg no.8? Surely Rosberg has earned the title of first driver after this season.

    Looks like we're finally shot of the BMW Sauber name, what a horrible, horrible name that was. Glad to see Renault and Team Lotus in there, although I worry that might change...

    my centiments exactly.

    I also have a question; will Virgin still be registered as British, or will they be down as Russin for next year?
    Congratulations Sebastian Vettel. Champion of the season of seasons.

    Schumacher likes odd numbers and Rosberg probably doesn't give a sh*t.

    Yawn... let it go for petes sake, teams come and go and names change even when the team dosen't. BMW's time in F1 was OK, not stellar but not disastereous by a long way...

    Had the Parent BMW Group not shifted it's core goal to more eco-freindly image BMW, I have no doubt would have been stronger than their final year showed.

    As for Sauber, BMW had no say in keeping the name that was the FIA, I sure BMW would have prefered to see the name dropped once they departed just as much as Sauber wanted it.





    Anyway... back on topic, Is the published list meant also to be the car number each driver will race, The FIA I am guessing only go by what the teams submit. The list also has Jenson #3 and Lewis #4.

    So what have we got left

    RENAULT: 1 seat
    Cant see it being anyone other than Vitaly Petrov to be honest

    WILLIAMS: 1 seat
    The longer it goes on, the more I think it'll be Pastor Maldonado

    FORCE INDIA: 2 seats
    Not really sure about who'll get one of them but im fairly confident the other will be Paul di Resta

    TORO ROSSO: 2 seats
    Seeing they have Buemi and Alguersuari under contract for 2011 im suprised they left both entries blank, maybe Mateschitz is having 2nd thoughts on one of them (probably Buemi)

    HRT: 2 seats
    Drivers I think at the moment are the last thing on their mind, wondering wether they'll even be on the grid is more important for them in my view.

    MARUSSIA VIRGIN: 2 seats
    Timo Glock I think is a shoe in for the lead seat but I think the new shareholders Marussia will probably want a Russian driver in the 2nd car and that makes me lean towards Mikhail Aleshin (the 2010 Renault World Series champ) getting the seat.

    Force India could be Nico Hulkenberg.
