Bruno Senna is indeed the nephew of three-time Formula 1 World Champion Ayrton Senna. Bruno joined F1 in 2010, driving for the HRT team and continuing his family's racing legacy. Alexander Wurz, Nico Hülkenberg, and Kimi Räikkönen have no family relationship to Ayrton Senna.

Four new teams were approved for the 2010 season: Campos Meta (later HRT), Team US F1 (withdrew before racing), Manor Grand Prix (later Virgin Racing, then Marussia), and Lotus F1 Team (later Caterham).

Robert Kubica drove for the Renault team in 2010 after BMW withdrew from Formula 1 at the end of the 2009 season.

BMW no longer participated in F1, Ferrari had their own driver lineup, and Toro Rosso fielded different drivers.

Continental AG supplied tyres to Formula 1 for only two seasons (1954-1955), making them the briefest tyre supplier in F1 history. Dunlop supplied from 1960s onward, Pirelli has been the sole supplier since 2011 (longer stint), and Firestone supplied in the 1960s-70s. Continental's brief appearance came during F1's early years.

The Lotus F1 team returned to Formula 1 in 2010 after the original Team Lotus last competed in 1978 (though the Lotus name had brief appearances with other teams). BAR raced until 2006, Manor (later Marussia/Virgin) was a new 2010 entry, and Tyrrell raced until 1998. The 2010 Lotus entry was part of a wave of new teams that season.
