Brabham BT30 from 1970

It has been revealed that more teams have lodged paperwork to join the grid for the Formula One Championship in 2010.

As it stands, all ten teams in the current championship have provisionally signed for the following season, subject to a suspension of the budget cap and the rules remaining unchanged for 2010.

The Williams team are the only runners who has signed the agreement without conditions, which saw them given a suspension from FOTA.

Max Mosley, the FIA president, has said;

“We make the rules, We have done for 60 years and we are going to continue to do it.”

One of the new teams emerging as an entrant for next season is the Brabham Grand Prix Team, now owned by German businessman Franz Hilmer.

Another is a Spanish team Epsilon Euskadi, who’s boss Joan Villadelprat, is claiming to have the funding for the next four seasons.

The FIA is to announce the 2010 entry list on June 12th and have said there is room for 13 teams in total, therefore, if the nine teams who have provisional signed for next season decide to pull out, there will be plenty of other teams to take their places on the grid.

Mosley allegedly told the Switzerland Motorsport Aktuell when asked about the stand-off by the rebellious teams;

“What I would say to them is that if they want to write the rules, they should organise their own championship”.
