2010 F1 Teams & Drivers Predictions:
Brawn GP
1. Button
2. Rosberg
Red Bull Racing
3. Vettel

5. Hamilton
6. Raikkonen
Ferrari
7. Massa
8. Alonso

9. Barrichello
10. Hulkenburg
Renault
11. Kubica
12. Glock
Force India Mercedes
14. Fisichella
15. Sutil
Toro Rosso Ferrari
16. Buemi
17. Alguersuari
USF1 Cosworth
18. Sato
19. Villeneuve
Campos Meta Cosworth
20. Senna
21. De La Rosa

22. Davidson
23. Kovalainen
Lotus Cosworth
24. Trulli
25. Kobayashi
Qadbak Ferrari (Formally BMW Sauber)
26. Heidfeld
27. Klien
So there we go, I expect we’ll see a lot of the teams going for the experienced drivers as opposed to the rookies, given the lack of testing prior to the 2010 season. I think the least likely of those drivers to be correct is Villeneuve, but he is a World Champion and has a lot of experience so maybe he is worth a punt for one of the new teams…time will tell, what does everyone else think?

Fisichella
is staying at Ferrari as a test driver.
personally i cant see kobayashi going to lotus as they apparently have a guy called, Fairuz Fauzy
Kobayashi to go to Compos instead of Pedro De La Rosa as he will stay at McLaren as a test driver
Agreed about Villeneuve would love to see him return though.
