Scuderia Toro Rosso
Chassis: Toro Rosso STR5
Engine: Ferrari Type 056
Drivers: Sébastien Buemi (16), Jaime Alguersuari (17)

2010 is a significant fresh start for this young team, as the ban on customer cars for this year means that STR has to build their own chassis instead of using the Red Bull chassis. Oddly enough, the front wing of the STR looks nearly identical to the Red Bull car. Week 4 testing showed promise, as the team was able to show performance better than Lotus, Virgin and Renault, putting them at the tail end of the front runners. With the refuelling ban, some clever strategy coupled with a safety car could see the Red Bull Jr team scoring some big points.

Force India F1
Chassis: Force India VJM03
Engine: Mercedes-Benz FO 108X
Drivers: Adrian Sutil (14), Vitantonio Liuzzi (15)

Force India continues to impress the F1 paddock, with a strong 2nd place finish last year at Spa, which in my opinion should’ve been a win, the team continued to impress during testing this year. Although the team missed the week 1 tests, week 4 testing put them (Sutil, specifically) right smack in the middle of all the front runners. There were only a few small updates to the car compared to 2009, which goes to show how strong the car was aerodynamically in the last half of the 2009 season.
