FOTA just anounced that all the teams have handed in the application for next year.
It'd be no suprise to see Toyota follow Honda out of F1.
Good local news about Prodrive.

Ferrari and the rest of the teams in the Formula 1 Teams' Association (Fota) have submitted conditional entries for the 2010 championship.
Williams announced on Monday that they intend to enter next season's campaign.
McLaren, BMW Sauber, Toyota, Renault, Red Bull Racing, Toro Rosso and Brawn GP have now all followed suit.
The move would appear to bring an end to the recent row with the sport's governing body, the FIA, over the voluntary budget cap.
A statement on behalf of Fota said: "Fota confirms all its members' long-term commitment to be involved in the FIA Formula 1 World Championship.
"It has unanimously agreed further and significant actions to substantially reduce the costs of competing in the championship in the next three years."
Fota said all its teams would race next year if a new financial agreement with F1's management is reached by 12 June.
The association also wants the 2010 season to operate on the basis of current technical regulations.

USF1, Campos, Lola, and Litespeed (backed by Mike Gascoyne) have also signed up.

I seem to remember Bernie saying he wanted more teams in, one of the reasons for the funding cap etc.

I guess this means customer cars will now be allowed, as that's the only way all these new teams are realistically going to be able to get started. That's what unstuck Prodrive last time around.
Which might mean effectively 4 McLarens; 4 Ferraris etc.

No entry from Ferrari yet?
And this is only registering at the moment. I'm sure Bernie will have a veto on what teams can enter or not.
40 teams could enter, only 12 or 13 will be on the grid. Pre-qualifying?
