Wow, i've missed a lot of team announcements somehow!
ESP, have Heidfeld, Petrov, Parente, Razia & Tung been officially announced? or is that just italics for rumours being missed?

Also, do you have a link for the Stefan GP rumour? I haven't heard that one yet! Keen to learn more!

Couple of points:

1. I never saw Heidfeld confirmed at Merc. Where did you find Ericsson?
2. Have Ferrari confirmed Badoer again? I would expect them to drop him with Fisichella being confirmed.
3. Sale of Campos to Stefan is completely speculative at this point. The FIA isn't likely to approve as the teams are not. It should not be in this list. http://joesaward.wordpress.com/2010/01/ ... h-reality/
4. Petrov - Ho Ping Tung not confirmed

Badoer and Gene to stay at Ferrari (gpupdate article)

I've read it at several other places, although I don't remember where. So apparently Ferrari kept everyone. (Fisi/Gene/Badoer)

Fisi is the official 3rd driver tho (who are listed in the above confirmed lineups). Badoer has been demoted to test driver.

di Montezemolo "..we have Fisichella as the third driver and two very experienced test drivers: Marc Gené and Luca Badoer."

Sorry forgot a few italics with Heidfeld, altho he hasnt been announced by the team, he has said that he will be the 3rd driver.

Petrov - Tung, another missed italic situation.

Ericsson - The discussion page don Wikipedia for the 2010 season has speculation on this one.

But that Wikipedia page is really fecking me off at current as they have the 2009 post season tests (the young driver tests) as part of the official 2010 season testing programme, whitch it just isnt, thats the 2009 season in my eyes. And it will not be annexed till i get more support to my argument that it should be part of the 2009 season page.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_Formula_One_season

Once again, sorry for any confusion.

Since I had barely heard of Petrov I doubted ESPImperium everytime he included him in the possible drivers list. But here we are, and Renault have hired him. Kudos, ESP.

More reserve drivers being confirmed

McLaren = Button/Hamilton - Paffett
Mercedes = Schumacher/Rosberg - Heidfeld
Red Bull = Vettel/Webber - Ricciardo/Hartley
Ferarri = Massa/Alonso - Fisichella/Badoer/Gene
Williams = Barrichello/Hülkenberg - Bottas
Renault = Kubica/Petrov - Ho Ping Tung
Force India = Sutil/Liuzzi - Di Resta
Toro Rosso = Buemi/Alguersuari - Ricciardo/Hartley
Lotus = Trulli/Kovalainen - Fauzy
Campos = tba/Senna - tba
USF1 = Lopez/tba- tba
Virgin = Glock/Di Grassi - Parente/Razia
Sauber = Kobayashi/De La Rosa - tba

still two race seats open plus five likely reserves at Sauber, Mercedes, McLaren, Campos and USF1

Fisichella also confimed for a full LeMans season on Ferrari but unclear which class
