Depends if they go back to turbo engines where they can turn the boost up and down to control fuel consumption.

New teams line up annouced tomorrow, who do you think will make the cut?

[AlanD]

I hope Prodrive and Louts make it.

[johnson6672]

I think prodrive will be in they seem to have the backing and contacts and have been talking to all the right people over the last few years. Hope they do let 26 cars on the grid, especially if its as open as this year, (behind Brawn that is).

yeah , i think prodrive/aston and USF1 or whatever are certs, after that it's a tough call, maybe lola.

I was reading yesterday how the teams entering under the names Lotus and Brabham, actually have nothing to do with their namesakes. Lotus were taking steps to distance themselves from the F1 entry to protect thier brand, whilst Jack Brabham and family were getting ready to take out legal action.

I will try and find a link.

manor gp , campos and usf1 are the 3 new teams.

[VeeDubGTI16v]

no prodrive 

[monkeyalan]

probably didn't offer the dwarf enough backhander.

Just read the full list of teams on the autosport link and Brawn, Mclaren, toyota, Renalut and BMW are not definates yet as their entries had conditions, lets hope Brawn and Mclaren make it though.
