Will we see the four new teams at the start of the first Grand Prix of the season in Bahrain? If Bernie Ecclestone's statements are to be believed, this is unlikely. In the Times, the Briton indicates that he expects to see twelve teams at the start of the 2010 season and no longer fourteen like the World Championship of F1 waiting for him. If Virgin Racing and Lotus F1 are expected to commit, doubts remain about the presence of the other two new teams.

« I think the people we expect to perform well will, and the people we think won't, actually won't. “, he explained. It is true that at present only the Campos F1 team has signed a driver with Bruno Senna. As for USF1, it has still not communicated a single name.
