Well, pre-season testing is completed and all the teams have unveiled their cars and, of course, it has been confirmed that the USF1 squad will not make it to Bahrain for first practice in nine days or for the rest of the season – I cannot wait for that book to be written. The final driver for the 2010 Formula 1 grid was unveiled earlier on today as Karun Chandhok was announced as the second HRT driver – on a separate note, I can barely tell the new Lotus and HRT apart as both are an odd shade of green with touches of yellow.
