FIA announces 2010 F1 entry list

World championship leaders Brawn, plus former champions McLaren and Renault are among the teams that have been told to lift the conditions on their entry to the 2010 championship by June 19 or risk being left off the grid.

After days of intense speculation about which teams would comprise the make up for the 2010 championship, the FIA announced that of the current teams only Ferrari, Red Bull Racing, Scuderia Toro Rosso, Williams and Force India have been granted entries.

It means that Brawn, McLaren, Renault, BMW Sauber and Toyota have all been sidelined for now - pointing towards further frantic efforts to try and find a solution to the row over cost cuts.

In a statement issued by the FIA, it said: "These five teams have submitted conditional entries.The FIA has invited them to lift those conditions following further discussions to be concluded not later than close of business on Friday 19 June."

The inclusion of Ferrari and the two Red Bull teams is also a bone of contention, with the outfits likely to claim that they could only be entered if the conditions attached to their applications to race were met.

The FIA, however, believes the teams committed several years ago when they signed deals with the governing body and Formula One Management tying themselves to the sport.

The list also confirmed that three new teams had been granted an entry - Campos Grand Prix, Manor Grand Prix and Team US F1.

Should any of the five current teams not make the cut, then the FIA is evaluating further entries being added.

AUTOSPORT understands there are three or four other teams who are close to being granted entries, and dialogue is still ongoing.

Team						 Constructor
Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro	Ferrari
Scuderia Toro Rosso		  STR TBA
Red Bull Racing			  Red Bull Racing TTBA
At&T Williams				Williams Toyota
Force India F1 Team		  Force India Mercedes
Campos Grand Prix			Campos Cosworth
Manor Grand Prix			 Manor Cosworth
Team US F1				   Team Us F1 Cosworth

* These five teams have submitted conditional entries.The FIA has invited them to lift those conditions following further discussions to be concluded not later than close of business on Friday 19 June.

The maximum number of cars permitted to enter the 2010 Championship has been increased to 26, two being entered by each competitor. Pending completion of the discussions referred to above, further due diligence is currently taking place on other potential entries.

Didn't realise that, thanks :p

If thats the case, looks like they're facing some hefty pull out fees. With max demanding that the teams place entries in a week I have a nasty feeling this issue won't be resolved, and F1 will really be without a lot of the big names next year.

The issue will be resolved. Think about it: Establishing a breakaway series would be extremely costly for one. Then there's the question which tracks such a series would race on... CBE has a contract with most race tracks here in Europe and would never allow a breakaway series to run on said tracks.

There will be a solution within the next few days.

Maybe rather than establish a breakaway series, they will just quit altogether? The teams won't just refuse to enter then all of a sudden change their mind unless Mosely alters the rules, which is looking increasingly unlikely.

I've seen on the Autosport forums people state they should not have problems racing at current tracks in a new series. ?It's against EU law to have such contracts, although I think Bernie does own one or two, so he wouldn't allow it at his tracks. ?I don't think some of the teams will miss racing in the middle east, its seem to be more for the money than anything.

Sadly, I think Bernie owns spa, the best circuit of them all, but once the current contracts expire, Bernie wouldn't be able to do a thing if a breakaway series took over.

Bernie is just doing his usual bit of sounding off to try and scare anyone. Fortunately most people stopped giving a damn about what he had to say years ago

Quiet unbelievable that it has been allowed to come this far. Mosley and Bernie are idiots of the highest order, and F1 will go into decline within a couple of years without the big names in it.

Although I saw it coming, I have to say I am really shocked by the fact that the FIA have allowed this to happen.

^ and no doubt can get back in with the new series (if it happens). Everyone is saying things never work out in splits but how often is it a largely one sided split? From what i can gather, it'll be 8 out of the 10 teams we know as "F1" and the majority of drivers will follow the teams so the "new F1" will be like this years "F1" but with a new name. Casual fans will be confused as hell and not watch either and i can see quite a large number of F1 fans follow the teams into the new series.

"The teams cannot continue to compromise on the fundamental values of the sport and have declined to alter their original conditional entries to the 2010 World Championship," said a statement issued by FOTA after the meeting.

"These teams therefore have no alternative other than to commence the preparation for a new Championship which reflects the values of its participants and partners. This series will have transparent governance, one set of regulations, encourage more entrants and listen to the wishes of the fans, including offering lower prices for spectators worldwide, partners and other important stakeholders.

This sounds good to me. Bernie and Max have really helped run the current sport into the ground.

these 7 teams should form a new F1 where there's less limit to innovation.

if it wasnt for F1, we wouldnt hav seen paddle shift gear shifter in road cars :p

i want to see more technolgy :D

FIA keeps imposing rules, that too at last moment.

the reason for KERS failure is FIA itself.

btw, F1 is two tier right now. kers & non kers, double diffuser & single.

F1 without Max Mosley & Bernie would be better.

(when it comes to safety, hats off to FIA for making all motorsport cars safer)

++++

<snipped>

i really hope the 7 big teams of current F1 pull out & invite manufactures like Porsche, Aston Martin, Jaguar (another indian team ;p), VW, Lamborghini,... into new F1.

that would be dream F1 with all thees super car makers. :woot:

[ya i know, i quoted myself :p]

my 1st wish comes true :woot:

now i really hope Porsche, Lambo.... make an entry to new FOTA F1 :p

F1 as we know it will be just another Indycar bs.

Ferrari breathes on innovations that come out of the F1. To think that Ferrari and McLaren would have accepted these silly budget caps and standardized technologies, think again.

I don't care what the F1 becomes. Maybe now Force India and USF1 (lol) will have a chance to win. All the big boys, the teams with all the F1 history behind them will continue separately and give us the fans what we want.

Without the big teams, Formula 1 won't last more than a season, because nobody will want to watch it. Turning up to watch names like Ferrari, McLaren, Renault, BMW and Toyota is a little more significant than watching names like Force India, USF1, Lightspeed, iSport, and whatever else.

The only prestige name even left in F1 will be Williams and their fanbase is significantly smaller than that of the majority of teams on the way out.

Max says he isn't scared, and he still believes a compromise can be reached, but I am not so confident.

If Aston Martin decide to join F1, I think it'll save a bit of face for the sport, and it might still bring in some of the British viewers.

If the breakaway does happen, I'd like to know where the teams that stay will get their engines from. I'm sure that Ferrari, Mercedes, Renault, BMW, and Toyota won't be providing anything for them.

Also yesterday during practice 2 on Speed, they said that Monaco will not hold a race if Ferrari isn't racing in F1. So there's one track, I'm sure Canada and possibly US races will be back if the breakaway happens.

The major sponsors will go where the teams/drivers go.

Also are we going to see a return of the "tire wars" and V10's or V12's if the split happens?

I think in the new break away series engine power, tyres and downforce will all make giant progressions and maybe a "Turbo" system like KERS (I liked kers :( ) It's the fact that the teams have never really liked what the FIA pushed on the sport and the teams deciding among them selves we will a) never get anywhere b) have better cars/teams

missed the quali :D

BMW abandons KERS for good

BMW has abandoned its Kinetic Energy Recovery System for good, because it thinks it can improve its car performance more without the technology...

Also yesterday during practice 2 on Speed, they said that Monaco will not hold a race if Ferrari isn't racing in F1. So there's one track, I'm sure Canada and possibly US races will be back if the breakaway happens.

Ecclestone is really pushing to sign back Montreal for their race next year. But people here are not dumb, they wait to see what going to happen before getting locked in a contract with F1 with no teams.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.

    • Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Square Enix showed up to the Summer Game Fest presentation today with multiple trailers showing off its next chapter in the Final Fantasy VII Remake saga. The final chapter of this trilogy now has an official name too, with it being dubbed Final Fantasy VII Revelation, following up Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth from recent years. Vincent Valentine, Cid, Cloud, Barret, Tifa, and more showed up in the trailers as they battle against enemies, or 'Weapons,' from the final chapter. "As the world teeters on the brink of annihilation, the final battle against Sephiroth begins," says the trailer description. "A meteor mars the sky, monstrous planetary guardians wreak havoc across the globe, and the fires of war rage. Now, Cloud and his companions must stand against this chaos to not only decide the planet's fate, but bring a legendary conflict to its conclusion." Following the reveal trailer, the show also dropped some gameplay footage that shows off a new way to travel across the open world using the Highwind airship. Players will be able to swap characters on during battles, use tactical mode to synchronize with allies, and summon their entities. Cid Highwind and Vincent Valentine are joining the party this time too. “FINAL FANTASY VII, first released in 1997, has been beloved by fans for many years and has since become a “legend” in its own right," added producer Yoshinori Kitase. "The FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Series that began in 2020 with everyone’s passionate support is finally reaching its climactic finale with FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION. The story’s final destination represents my emotions spanning thirty years working on this title" One of the biggest revelations of this announcement, however, was the multiplatform release confirmation from the get-go. Square Enix will be releasing Final Fantasy VII Revelation across PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5 in Spring 2027 without any timed exclusivity programs.
