By the end of this week, all the teams are sending their stuff to Bahrain.

What a friggin' joke.

They've probably got a racecar all mocked up and ready to go.


In 3D on their computers.
I hope.

AFAIK, they already stated they are skipping the first 3 races and have asked for FIA dispensation to skip the 4th race and still remain in F1.

Bernie and the FIA were apparently sold a bill of goods....an all American F1 team, running out of one of the largest world markets...everyone saw sponsorship $ and revenue $, perhaps even getting an F1 race back in the US...

Instead, they got, well....

Too bad, it was a great idea, but the minute I saw the shops/facilities, I knew it was just a paper tiger.

Thread title made me lol.

You guys are behind on your F1 news. USF1 has asked the FIA to defer their spot on the grid until the 2011 season. They are offering to put up a multi-million dollar "bond" to show their intent to participate next season.

Yes, skipping just the first 19 races.

Flying Finn

What's next Anderson? Skipping just the first 38 races? Or first 47?

in related news I read something saying that Peter Winsors pit reporter position at Speed has been filled, anyone know who is taking his place?

This is good news to me, now if they could just replace David Hobbs.

Why would Bernie and the FIA allow that?
There are teams waiting to enter F1 at last check, give them the entry and if they fail, give it to the next team in line.

I disagree.
I always enjoyed Peter Windsor down on the grid and the pre-race show.

I'm smelling a scam. Could PW be bilking "investors/sponsors, Argentine govt" out of millions of dollars on the prospect of an F1 team -- a team from all we've seen hasn't produced squat and has a shell of a company?

It would be very interesting to find out where the money went....or if they in fact had money in the first place.

Lopez is already out of his contract with USF1 and they are trying to get the $800K+ they fronted to the team back. Lopez is supposedly eyeing a reserve driver roll with Campos.

Stephan may get USF1's spot on the grid with JV and some unknown.

What a joke...
