Ferrari may be miffed with the FIA's decision to bring in new teams, but for the sport enthusiasts expansion of the F1 grid only means extra fun and is totally welcome. There have been quite a few new entrees to the F1 Championship including Campos Grand Prix and Manor Grand Prix. More teams mean more drivers and more drivers mean more interesting racing fun. Even though the new cars spend plenty of their time fighting at the back among themselves, it does add a lot of drama to the sport.

Formula 1 fans would be heading to Montreal when the F1 races begin in June. Montreal's Circuit Gilles Villeneuve is a proper track for racing.

Nico Hulkenberg is likely to continue his good form from 2009 GP2 and Vitaly Petrov who will race for Renault, is riding high on the hopes of a country that has never had an F1 driver before. And if all goes well, we might see Bruno Senna, nephew of the legendary Ayrton Senna, finally bringing F1's most famous name back on the track.
