Re: 2010 F1 Season
Virgin Racing was 9 seconds off the pace set by Buemi (Toro Rosso) today at Jerez:

Glock could only do 5 laps before Virgin ran out of spare parts - how embarrassing
Frankly, what's the point of Virgin Racing, US F1 and Campos Meta being in Formula 1? In a race, their cars will be like near-stationary obstacles for the established teams to get past and lap again and again. Surely they should compete in a lower formula - and proving themselves - before being admitted to the highest formula in motorsport?
Manufacturer teams leave F1 only to be replaced by these unknown and untested teams. IMHO the wheels will come off this particular experiment all too soon...
