This weeks F1 testing has shown that the Sauber C29 is no slouch, I said that they might just pull something out of the bag but I wasn’t expecting that. Sauber firmly planted themselves in second place for all three days.
Peter Sauber’s team unveiled their new car yesterday and though it got little press I think it’s a more exciting proposition than the Renault one. Peter Sauber describes himself as a reluctant owner but he’s always put in the effort with F1 and sold BMW a pretty handy team.
The new car looks kind of bare without any of the customary sponsorship but then the Brawn looked like that last year, it sports a higher nose than some of the other cars but retains the long fin of the McLaren. I will watch with keen interest how Sauber do this year though barring a huge surprise I don’t expect much from them really.
With Kamui Kobayashi and Pedro de la Rosa driving for them this season they really do have the experience and the excitement though I’m not sure how de la Rosa got the nod ahead of Nick Heidfeld but [...]
Renault have now launched their car and announced the driver to partner Robert Kubica. Vitaly Petrov will pilot the second Renault for 2010, he makes history as the first Russian to enter F1, no mention of the money he could bring though.
The new Renault doesn’t look as sharp as the McLaren or the Ferrari but the 2005/6 cars didn’t either and look what they did. I love the new colour scheme though it does remind me somewhat of Eddie Jordan’s team. It will look good on track, and if their design team has managed to stay insulated from all the happenings at the team over the past 12 months they might produce something – I guess we’ll have to wait until Bahrain to see if they have managed it.
Vitaly Petrov seems an odd choice as the second driver but I guess they couldn’t have done worse than Romain Grosjean. He [...]
Williams have as good a chance as anyone this year to make a go of it, I’m not saying that they will win the championship – I think that might be beyond them but I think they can return to the type of form we saw a few years ago.
In 2009 they showed promise at some of the races with Nico Rosberg, and they have had one of the most stable winter breaks of all the teams, with Rubens Barrichello joining them they have the safe and fast hands of F1s most experienced driver to get the best from the car and the young and exciting talent of Nico Hulkenberg, another fast german.
Since BMW let Williams seem to have been slowly rebuilding the team that showed so much innovation to bring home so many titles and I hope that they continue in this vein, Sam Michael seems to have everything [...]
