This is the rumor page.  This group has members all over the world so it will be interesting to compare information.  Every time one of us hears something, fact or fiction, please post it on this page. 

 

I am near Chicago IL.  Rumor is that Ferrari has paid for three entrees in the 2010 season.  Supposedly Schuey is in rehab for his neck injury and hopes to be on the grid.  If he is good to go they will have Alonso, Massa, and Michael.  If he is not 100%, Fisichella gets the third seat.

I have been watching F1 since the 70's but can not remember the last time a team had three cars on the grid.  Chime in if you remember the last time.

Incorrect my dear friend. Alonso and Massa will drive for Ferrari, but Schumi is going to the former Brawn GP- now Mercedes F1. He will be joining Nico Rosberg. Mclaren Mercedes becomes just McLaren racing with Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton. Red Bull Renault stays with its driver line-up of Vettel and Webber. Reubens goes to Williams and rookie Nico Hulkenberg will join him there. BMW Sauber becomes just Sauber with Heidfeld and Kubes losing their positions there. Kubica goes to Renault with a slot to be filled by season's start. Kamui Kobayashi will be Sauber's primary driver with an unnamed secondary driver. Force India drops Fisichella for former Toro Rosso driver Vitantonio Liuzzi. Jaime Alguersuari is dropped and Sebastien Buemi is Toro Rossos primary driver w/o a second driver in the line-up yet. The four new teams of Lotus, US, Campos Meta, and Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Racing will join the ranks, but it is unsure if FIA will give USF1 the ok to race. Lotus' driver roster will be Jarno Trulli and Heikki Kovalainen. Timo Glock will join Virgin with rookie Lucas di Grassi joining him. Campos will have Bruno Senna, son of great former f1 driver Ayrton with no announced 2nd driver. USF1's driver roster is yet to be named, probably because they are waiting on the ok from FIA.

Found out that Ferrari's third entry application was refused by the FIA before the Braun deal was announced.
