Lotus have consistently been the best of the new teams &#8211; but don&#8217;t let that convince you, Mike Gascoyne knows that isn&#8217;t good enough and they are hard at work trying to ensure that next year they are always within a shout of some points, can they do it? Who knows but they stand the best chance.
Jarno Trulli has provided Lotus with a solid platform to both identify the problems with the car and develop what they have for next year, he ensures that they know the car is on the limit and that they are getting the best out of it.
Heikki Kovalainen has also had a good year, he has provided a solid benchmark and pushed Trulli all year. He has provided the team with it&#8217;s best finish this year and hasn&#8217;t thrown the car of the road like some of the other drivers in new teams.
Lotus have a [...]]]></description>

Mark Webber again shone in qualifying, he produced the fastest lap of the weekend so far in the dying seconds of qualifying to take pole position away form Robert Kubica who had looked untouchable out front.
It means that the Red Bull that had looked nowhere this weekend had managed to pull off pole and third in their quest to take the title before anyone catches them. McLaren will be disappointed their performance in qualifying as they didn&#8217;t manage to get near the front row of the grid. Jenson Button was complaining of being blocked but it didn&#8217;t look like they had the speed anyway.
Mercedes will be happy to see an improved performance from the car and will be hoping that they can put it to good use in the race tomorrow and score some solid points to ensure that they stay ahead of Renault in the championship. Renault themselves have [...]]]></description>

Thursday practice at Monaco shows that the Red Bull isn&#8217;t always the fastest way around a race track and that Ferrari did do some work after all. Monaco is an odd track and Ferrari should be concerned even if they can waltz away with the victory here as it&#8217;s unlikely to translate elsewhere. Alonso will just be happy to see his name at the top of the times and will be hoping that he can keep it there throughout the whole weekend.
Rosberg also seems to have come back to form, or mastered the new Mercedes as he has put in times that eclipse Michael Schumacher again. Perhaps Spain was a blip, Michael Schumacher will be hoping that it turns around again on Saturday and that it is he and not Rosberg that takes the highest spot on the grid for Mercedes. With it being virtually impossible to overtake in Monaco [...]]]></description>

The Virgin team are confident that they have solved the reliability issues that meant that their car hasn&#8217;t run for more than 18 laps or so yet. This means that they have addressed the hydraulic problems that they have had since the launch of the car and the transmission problems that they had at Sakhir.
Virgin impressed at Bahrain by qualifying fastest of all the new teams and then disappointed on race day by not managing to make the first set of stops. The hydraulic issues that put out one of their cars out in Bahrain seems the same as the one that they claimed to have solved after the pre-season testing where they had these issues &#8211; it seems that the fix didn&#8217;t work and they now have a &#8216;robust&#8217; solution to the problem, let&#8217;s hope that&#8217;s true.
They also had transmission issues in Bahrain and these would seem separate from [...]]]></description>

The Australian GP is now less than a week away and with all the main teams having had a week to digest what happened in Bahrain what can we expect from the various players? Will the Ferrari&#8217;s run away with the race again? Will the Red Bull have and an answer? Will Michael Schumacher be on the pace? Will the McLaren be fast enough to challenge?
It seems that the Australian GP is a much less predictable track though it does seem to show who&#8217;ll win the championship as over the last ten years only twice has the winner not gone on to clinch the title. It seems unlikely that the Ferrari will romp away with the victory this time out as the other teams may have the pace here. The McLaren&#8217;s rear wing won&#8217;t help them too much but any time counts.
Michael Schumacher should be more on the pace here [...]]]></description>

Bahrain played host to three brand new teams this year, Lotus, Virgin Racing and HRT Cosworth/Hispania Racing. After months of preparation it was their first taste of F1 proper with nothing to hide behind.
Lotus performed the best of the new teams, they had a seemingly problem free weekend with their cars both going on to almost finish the race &#8211; they were both classified as finishers though. They were off the pace and even got outqualified by one of the Virgin cars but the results happen on race day. Top marks for their effort though and as they were the last team to be granted their entry they have done a fantastic job, it shows what bringing in F1 experience can do.
Virgin Racing put on a reasonable show though neither car finished the race due to technical issues &#8211; one hydraulic related and one with gearshift problems. The car looked [...]]]></description>

The first race of the 2010 F1 season in Bahrain is just a week away, it seems like it&#8217;s been a long winter. There are many things that are different (I won&#8217;t say new) this year in F1. New rules, new teams, new drivers and we&#8217;ll all see who&#8217;s done the best job over the last few months.
There are a few new rules this year such as the refueling ban and the ban on wheel spinners. As well as technical changes like the tyre size and the new points system of 25-18-15-12-10-8-6-4-2-1. I may not agree with all of them &#8211; especially the refueling ban, I just don&#8217;t see how it can possibly improve overtaking &#8211; but they are here and the teams and drivers must make the best use of them.
We will have three new teams on the grid for the first race of the season, Virgin, Lotus and [...]]]></description>

Today Virgin launched their car online on their website, the CFD only &#8211; no windtunnel &#8211; designed car will hit the track later in the week and they will become the first new team to put some real miles on the car.
The car designed by Wirth Research was set to be unveiled on the teams website but it seems that release had been delayed for a while and that we all had to wait, not the best start for a team that has relyed on it computational expertise to design the car. Hopefully the systems are engineered by different people.
The car itself looks somewhat smoother than the other cars, and it&#8217;s striking red and black colours with more flat surfaces, we&#8217;ll have to see what it runs like tomorrow.
With the driving partnership of Timo Glock and Lucas di Grassi they&#8217;ll be hoping for some problem free days of running to [...]]]></description>

Toro Rosso pull the covers off their car and show it before the first test gets underway. It seems that they have an unstoppable enthusiasm that even Red Bull can&#8217;t match as it becomes a serious contender. 
I&#8217;m not sure what to say about the new car given that it looks very similar to all the others but it does have a distinctive nose that doesn&#8217;t run as high as the Sauber.
With the same driver pairing as the end of last season in Jaime Alguersuari and Vitantonio Liuzzi they keep some level of experience and can move forward swiftly without drivers having to learn anything about the tracks and/or the team. I don&#8217;t expect this paring to set the world alight but they should do a solid job for Toro Rosso and will probably bring home some points given the new scoring system.
I wonder what the Red Bull will be [...]]]></description>
