    USF1? Is this simply an attemp by Bernie to get a hand into FOTA's decision making? The Brackley Boys turned His 100 mil down flat! Do the dates of Honda's & USF1's annoucements not bother You? 1 goes under, 1 springs to life! I'm sorry, I don't trust this story at all. PW of all people! Too whimsical

    Sorry! don't believe You. Bernie needs a New Concorde agreement. CVC also, He's not gonna get if FOTA remains commited. NO other reason for him to offer Honda $100 mil POUNDS. PETER Windsor is such a mover & shaker in F1. What did it take SIR JYS? His Son's F3 Team & the Whole Might of FORD++++. Sorry USF1 is a Pipedream. Worse situation than Stoddarts. Bernie's backing this! The American public could give a Frack about F1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    valium is your friend....

    i dont think they will immediately be front runner, nor do i think it will happen in a long time. but look at RBR and STR, they are relatively new teams but have been successful and gotten to the front a few times. i think the USF1 team has a high likelihood for success. i think their one weak link will be finding american drivers that are ready to compete at that level.

    RBR and STR arent ground up new teams like Toyota was for instance, RBR taking over Jaguar who in turn took over Stewart, and STR taking over Minardi. Jaguar itself wasnt too far off success. Ford seemed to be heading in the right direction with the management, but pulled the plug. Alot of the results from Red Bull's impressive first year were largely due to development done when the team was still Jaguar.

    this is interesting but a US based? team... this will make peter windsor alot of money and he won't have to run around asking for interviews.
    but this is doomed to be a back marker it is in worse position than Farce India as a team to do well, and India had good equipment and a race winner on the team...
    I am afraid if Penske could not do it, i feel this outfit is smoke mirrors and publicity to net many people millions
    i would love to be wrong but I don't see this working

    Just tell them that you really like grits.
    "Kimi, can you improve on your [race] finish?"
    "No. My Finnish is fine; I am from Finland. Do you have any water?"

    have you been to any of the nascar shops? i havent been to any, but my mom and some of her friends went to a bunch of them. they are rather open, since there isnt much technology to steal.

    and you woudl probably also be taken mores eriously with your eurpoean accent. they won't think you got lost trying to find DEI.
