The page was created last week, so yes. Only three drivers confirmed for 2010 so far.
ajokay said on 10th February 2009, 13:09
Best start to clear an 11th space on the list. here’s hoping, anyway.
RedAndy said on 10th February 2009, 13:15
2010 could well be the polar opposite of 2009 in that we’ve had next to no driver moves this year, but next year we could easily see a big reshuffle in some of the big names.
I have to disagree with Keith’s assessment that Williams have let Rosberg down – in my opinion it’s the other way around. Nico always looked promising, but last year he was nowhere near convincing enough against Nakajima, throwing away a couple of critical scoring opportunities, whereas Nakajima dragged the car into the points on a couple of occasions that it should perhaps not have been there. If Rosberg does not improve in 2009 he may struggle to find a drive, as Williams will be compelled to keep Nakajima (or another Japanese driver) if they stick to their Toyota engine deal, and certainly young Hulkenberg looks promising for a race seat sometime soon.
Paul said on 11th February 2009, 12:03
Hasn’t Vettel got a longer deal with Red Bull then?
Michael Roberts said on 17th February 2009, 20:02
Got to agree with Paul that Vettel must be on a multi-year contract otherwise McLaren will snap him up in 2010. Then we’d find out how good Lewis is….
Sue said on 5th December 2009, 13:16
I think we already know how good hamilton is. If he gets a decent car to drive, instead of a shed! i think the rest of the line up is unimportant because he’ll be the front runner anyway.
Will be good to see him race against Button thoe because he will probably be a better backup driver for Hamilton than Kovalainen

Alonso also has a 2010 contract: –
