Sergio Perez and Giedo Van der Garde will contest the 2010 GP2 series for the Barwa addax team, Perez moves over from Arden, whilst Garde moves in from i-sport
Team Super Nova will run two rookies in this years GP2, they come in the shape of Japanese F3 Champion Marcus Erricson and Josef Kral who finished third in last years Formula Master. ART and Ocean have also confirmed all rookie line-ups.
Renault test drivers Jerome d'Ambrosio and Ho-pin-Tung will race for DAMS this season, the team is owned by Renault Principal Eric Boullier and will field the two in the main GP2 series.

Virgin have entered a GP3 team in order to aid driver development, the team will be run by team principal John Booth with the promise of an f1 test for both drivers.
MW Arden, run by Christian Horner has signed FBMW race winner Michael Christiansen to drive in GP3, the dane was a contender for last years BMW eurocup before his mid season collapesd with penaltys and disqualifacations for cheating.

You've failed to mention that one of the rookies that ART have signed is Jules Bianchi, Euro F3 champion - in an ART, I fancy him to take the title! In GP3 I reckon that Alexander Rossi will be the one to watch - he's clearly being groomed as a future USF1 driver (if they stay in the sport long enough), and he's driving for...ART.

i would of but he was signed 3 months ago and rossi was signed in november, bianchi is already the first driver in the ferrari drivers academy, sam bird is the other driver for ART and i think he will beat bianchi, bird is super agressive and quick...

Van der Garde joins Barwa Addax
18 November 2009

Giedo van der Garde has confirmed a deal to race with the Barwa Addax team in the GP2 Main Series of 2010. The Dutchman, who moves from iSport after taking victory on three occasions this year, is preparing for a title attack with the Spanish team.

Having endured a difficult start to the 2009 campaign before coming good on several occasions during the second half of the season, the Netherlands man's signing at the outfit comes courtesy of a successful performance in Jerez testing during the second week of last month.

Finishing this season as top rookie behind Champion Nico Hülkenberg, van der Garde raced to wins in Belgium, Hungary and Italy which translated to a total of 34 points and seventh overall in the final standings.

"I believe the Barwa Addax team has everything to enable me to develop and get the best out of my talent," 24-year-old Giedo commented. "During the test, I immediately felt that the team and car suited me perfectly. We have a lot of confidence moving forward and the belief that we can fight for the championship!"

"We are very happy to have Giedo on-board for the Main Series in 2010," added Team Principal Alejandro Agag. "The test in October showed that Giedo is a very capable driver and is able to achieve extremely impressive times in our car. With Giedo we will fight for the championship!"

my bad
i remember know the reason i included van der garde was additional info as perez had just signed! thankyou for nit picking

JCW

lol, sorry for that, but I'm from the Netherlands just like Giedo

What actually happened to him? A few years ago he was lined up for a spyker drive and then nothing! hope he does well this year!

JCW

after that he won the World Series by Renault and last year he drove his first gp2 season

GP2 News
Christian Vietoris will drive for Fat Burner Racing engineering in 2010, the german driver scored a gp2 win at abu dhabi last year and partners the already confirmed (just so that cesko cant find fault with my post's ) Daniel Clos.

Rumours
Nick Heidfield and Valtteri Bottas may be placed in GP2 this year by their employers (mercedes,williams) in order to keep their racecraft as sharp as possible. There are around 7 places available.

Heidfeld in GP2... His career is now going backwards. I look forward to him winning the Formula Ford championship.

I can see why mercedes would do that, think about it, what is the closest thing to an f1 car? a gp2 car! Where could he keep a strong racecraft against other f1 hopefuls? GP2!
and anyway i am certain that he will win the british super a karting championship

JCW

I think by now Nick Heidfeld must weigh about the same as a kart He should just retire and go to DTM. To be fair he's not a bad driver, just not a great one, definitely better than some of the drivers on the grid (de la Rosa for a start), so I think he will be back...just don't know where!
