7 new teams have submitted applications for the 2010 season. They are as follows:
Campos
Litespeed
Lola
March Racing Organisation
Prodrive
Superfund
Team US F1
Its unlikely that all 7 teams will be granted entry to next season however with the grid being expanded to 26 slots, at least 3 of them will be there.

lotus was going to be the trading name of another of the teams (they apparently bought the rights) but they were not put on the shortlist of 2010 entries so…
