Following the Monaco Grand Prix, Ferrari have picked up the pace catching, but not passing the Brawn GP team. This is a significant boost to the Ferrari team to know that they are within reach of winning races again.  Raikkonen finished 3rd and Massa finished 4th.  It was good to see the Ferrari’s in front again.  I was a little disappointed in Red Bull Racing with Vettle crashing out of the race.  However, Webber did an outstanding job finishing in 5th place.

Now FOTA (Formula One Team Association) have filed provisional contracts for the 2010 season.  This is mostly due to the multi teir system that the FIA are wanting to implement for the next season.  Almost all the current teams (with the exception of Williams Toyota) have not signed for the 2010 season.  However, new teams for next year have submitted for the 2010 season.   Some of which are the USGP team, Lola and most recently, Prodrive.  Ferrari will always be my number one pick… Kimi Raikkonen will always be my number one pick.  However, I will be cheering for the USGP team and Prodrive.  Prodrive is a favorite of mine only because of their success with the Subaru World Rally Team (being that I own a Subaru Impreza myself).  David Richards did well with the BAR Honda team a couple of years back now and I hope to see him succeed in F1 once again.
