Well, I still think there is a lot of secrecy here and each will want to wait until the last minute to reveal what design directions each team has made....so on test day let the all the high digital photo shoot begin.
Along the same lines of design secrets and change, it appears that Ferrari has looked at their F10 entry and determined, how, I do not know(unsactioned testing is not allowed), that it is not fast enough and have decided to build a "B spec" of the F10 before they have even taken it to the track! I think the loss of some of their best personel over the last couple of years has really hit them hard.

Any car that is reliable enough to get Webber to the checker, should suit Kimi's luck.

On owning Spa Francorchamps....he did use all the track and a little "more" on that first lap to get the lead from Fisi's Force India.

Reliability wont pay Kimi's salary

I believe on the first lap he got into 2nd, it was after the safety car came in that he got Fisi going up the Kemmel straight.

Ah yes, the Button/Hamilton/etc wreck all over Eau Rouge / Raidillon: On the restart he was certainly king of KERS.

Ferrari and Mclaren have now revealed their 2010 cars anyone else think that red bull is just waiting so that they dont have bits of their designs copied I think their reveal is on the 1st cant wait. I also happened to be looking back at some old bmw photos and that weird looking sabre tooth nose hope this wont be the "out of the box" thinking usgp/usf1 are using to design their car lol , I dont think thats a new CAD program (they really should change their name, or get the government to back them lol)

Looks as if Stephan GP has bought Toyota or at least signed an agreement, there hoping to be on the grid in Bahrain. We'll have to see how that whole thing turns out...

Any of you guys see this story...

Why would Hami push for Jenson to be his team mate next year... If you ask me the answer is simple, he knows he can handle Jenson, the other guy McLaren were talking to, not so much. Thats OK though, the WRC season is going to be that much better to watch now... Just my .02...

Hamilton has handled FA as a rookie, I seriously doubt he was worried about Kimi taking the #1 role as Kimi was moving towards #2 instead of an honest 1b at Ferrari.

Wishful speculation though.

As U may recall last year there were a number races were the race stewards/officials made questionable calls regarding the existence of driver infractions. The call at the time was, "The FIA needs to implant more experienced stewards to officiate the races." Well, what did the FIA do? They have required all teams to pay for a 1m sensitive GPS system to be installed in all their cars. The cost to each team, ~$80K. By so doing, they will supposedly be able to establish whether a driver did or did not yeild to lapping cars, crossing critical lines and chicanes, etc. In short, they abandoned the use of human judgement on the track to technology. That said, unless well coordinated e.g., when did the blue flag come up relative to the drivers position, and reliable, it may create more problems than it solves.

I'm sure that had something to do with it. Everyone has to know that Jenson isn't winning races without the best car on the grid, and it's going to be a lot easier for Lewis to ascert himself as the #1 driver with Jenson as his competition compared to Kimi. Something else to consider is that Jenson is great at not making stupid driving mistakes like a guy like FA, and sometimes Kimi. Lewis will be able to push for wins while Jenson will smoothly and almost contently push the car to a 2nd-5th place finishes, and almost guaranteed points. It's really a great way to go after the constructor's championship in my opinion.
