With the 2010 British GP at Donington looking ever more unlikely, sections of the British media remain confident that Bernie Ecclestone will have a change of heart and move the event back to Silverstone.

As Max Mosley turns up the heat on Ferrari, Bernie Ecclestone is revising an all too-familiar role, that of the 'good cop' to the FIA President's bad.

The Force India team will not make use of its Kinetic Energy Recovery System until the German Grand Prix at the Nürburgring, according to team boss Vijay Mallya. The Indian squad debuted its first version of a double diffuser in China although, like five other teams, is yet to reveal its version of KERS.

Ross Brawn is keen to return to Barcelona after his team's magnificent start to the 2009 championship; having registered two pole positions and three race victories from the first four events, the white and green cars head the standings with almost double the amount of constructors' points to that of their closest rivals.

DAMS is well prepared and more motivated than ever. The French squad is determined to fight at the front this season, and add new successes to the teams' title won in the Asian GP2 Series last week.

Bernie Ecclestone believes that the proposed £40m figure from the FIA for next year's budget cap may increase before the start of the season in order to persuade all teams to follow the initiative. The spending limit has been met with mixed views from a number of teams, most notably Ferrari, disagreeing with the figure.
