New Formula 1 Season, New (Free-To-Enter) Fantasy Racers Game

There have been some fairly significant changes for F1 in 2010 so here is a quick synopsys for those that haven't been following the off track schenanigans during the close season.

Overall Changes
There will be no re-fuelling during the race. Whilst KERS will still be permitted, all teams have agreed not to use it in 2010. Revised Championship points system. Probably. 26 car grid, allowing 13 teams to compete.

Team Changes
4 new teams. US F1, Campos Meta, Virgin Racing and Lotus F1. BMW have sold their team to Peter Sauber but will continue to race as "BMW Sauber F1" in the short term. Toyota have withdrawn completely from F1. Brawn GP is now known as Mercedes Grand Prix having sold a controlling stake in the company to the German car manufacturers. Their involvement with McLaren will be reduced significantly this year.

Driver Changes
Felipe Massa reclaims his Ferrari seat having fully recovered from the head injury sustained last year. He has a new team mate in Fernando Alonso. Kimi Raikkonen takes a sabbatical from F1 and turns his attention to Rallying for 2010. A familiar name returns to F1 following a 3 year absence. Michael Shumacher has come out of retirement and joins Ross Brawn at Mercedes GP. Nico Rosberg completes the all German line-up. Jenson Button leaves Brawn GP and joins fellow brit Lewis Hamilton at McLaren.
Robert Kubica leaves BMW Sauber and joins Renault. His team mate for 2010 has yet to be confirmed, but is rumoured to be Vitaly Petrov. Rubens Barrichello will be the experienced driver of Williams, partnered by the 22 year old Nico Hulkenburg. Sauber take a similar stance with mixing experience with young talent by pairing Pedro de la Rosa with 23 year old Kamui Kobayashi. Scuderia Toro Rosso confirm Sebastien Buemi and Jaime Alguersuari. Red Bull stick with Mark Webber and Sebastien Vettel. Force India keep Vitantio Liuzzi and Adrian Sutil. Lotus F1 have gone with Jarno Trulli and Heikki Kovalainen to head their maiden campaign. Campos Meta have named Bruno Senna but are still to confirm who will partner him. Virgin Racing have gone with Timo Glock and Lucas di Grassi. US F1 Team recently confirmed Jose Maria Lopez - no news on the second driver as yet.

That just about sums it up. With racing just over 6 weeks away be sure to get your Fantasy Racers team in promptly. You can change things about as much as you like right up until the start of the first official qualifying session for Bahrain on Saturday 13th March.

Don't worry, it's totally free to enter.

Good luck!

Paddy Power

Bob's favourite online sportsbook is Paddy Power...

PaddyPower is Ireland's biggest online bookmaker and was established in 1988 following the merger of the country's three main bookmakers. The company operates over 240 high street outlets around Ireland and the UK as well as having a major presence online. PaddyPower is well known for their novel "money back specials" which can earn you free bets in some circumstances, ie, you bet on Chelsea to beat Manchester United and they lose and Rooney scores the last goal of the match, you get your stake back (example only).
