Only 24 Cars on the 2010 Formula 1 Grid

Bernie Ecclestone has come out and stated that he believes there will be only 24 cars on the grid when the new season kicks off in Bahrain in the middle of March.

Nine of the 10 teams who raced in 2009, two of them under a new guise, plus four new teams – Lotus F1 Racing, Campos Meta 1, USF1 and Virgin Racing – have been handed slots for next year’s World Championship.

According to The Times, Eccelstone is convinced that Campos F1 and USF1 will not make it for 2010. However, I think that USF1 will be there! Mainly because they cant afford not to be.
