GP2 2010 line-ups

Meantime a few more drivers have been confirmed:

Rapax: Maldonado - Razia
Trident: Cecotto
Coloni: Arabadzhiev

I consider Maldonado as a potential dark horse for this season. After all, back in 2008 in the same team - named Piquet GP then - he had quite a competitive season.

Maldonado's been quickest every day in testing so far. I know that could be on low fuel, but that can't be a bad thing. He's got to be a title threat despite Rapax's recent form. I expect that Valsecci, van der Garde and Bianci will also be contenders.

Coloni and Trident will probably struggle, I can see them falling behind DPR. I don't know what's with Coloni's choice of drivers or why they chose Valerio over Parente, I can only assume it's sponsorship related.

Any word if JR Hildebrand may get a GP2 seat?

I doubt it. Probably Ricci will be confirmed at DPR and Gonzalez, Villa or maybe someone else will fill the second Arden and Trident seats.

I imagine with only a couple of weeks until the new season that it'll be the drivers that are currently being tested, as it was last year with the exception of Jakes. So,

Arden - Gonzalez
Trident - Zaugg
DPR - Ricci

I think the rest of the drivers are confirmed anyway.

Villa, Parente and Filippi appear to be without seats, at least at the start of the season, which is a little surprising as they all did quite well in the winter series.
