I have just read that the American team is late for the impact tests according to Auto Motor und Sport. The news stated that Ross Brawn is surprised about this delay and declared that a new team should be ready by now.
The magazine also estimated that USF1 chances on being on the 2010 grid are near zero. Besides the Pete Windsor is the only F1 manager that is not against the commercialization of F1 entries.

I haven't found that news in English yet, but for those that can comprehend a bit of Portuguese:

Hey, I object. I refuse to believe they're screwed until they don't show up for the first race next year.

If USF1 don't get to the grid, I don't think many will be upset. They never captured the hearts of the American nation as they intended.

No. Because you are intelligent and witty, and therefore your feelings are not representative of the American populace.

The rumours of USF1 coming apart at the seams are just fuelled by anti-American sentiment and a dislike of Peter Windsor. When you think of Americans in Formula One, your mind instantly runs to Michael Andretti and Scott Speed when it should be looking to Dan Gurney and Mario Andretti. I was on Autosport earlier and someone posted a link to a video from SPEED that had Steve Marchett visiting USF1's Charlotte base. Windsor showed him their designers working on the CFD car designs and the way they'd developed a colour-coded system to show where they had the freedom to explore new designs and where they were restricted. Then they showed the machine shop, a room filled with giant automated machines, and all of them running once. The machines were quite clearly very big and very expensive.

The posters on that particular bulletin board then spent the next few pages discussing why it was all a hoax. They seem to think that Peter Windsor is setting everything up to sell his grid position and make a twenty or thirty million dollar profit from it. Somehow I doubt he could take the likes of Chad Hurley and all of his investors for a ride like that, especially if he's as dim-witted as everyone makes him out to be.

Nobody takes America seriously in F1. After all, their only world champion was born in Italy...

No, Phil Hill won the championship in 1961 and he was born on American soil. Even if he won when Von Trips crashed at Monza.

Dear Santa,

Please roll back F1, threads at the forum are getting weird.

Yours,

Carlos

Seriously, until the 4 news teams put 2 cars, 2 drivers and the whole stuff on the grid (that is, race day) in Melbourne, I'm not sure I'll believe any of them. Oh, and Quaq-Quaq, or whatever their name is, doesn't inspire much trust either. Seriously, who was the bright spark that came up with the idea that the moment we're pulling out of "the worst recessions since the Great Depression" (c) was the best time to proceed with a major expansionist policy for F1? There's no sponsorship to go around for everyone...

Hoorah. Anti-American sentiments that do naught but make the people doing the ridiculing look stupid. -_-

kostas22 wrote:Nobody takes America seriously in F1. After all, their only world champion was born in Italy...

To be proper, Mario Andretti's birthplace has since become part of Croatia. Which, if you're going to really think that it's birthplace (instead of things like naturalized citizenship) that matters, then Mario Andretti should be Croatia's first world champion.

Also, of course nobody takes America seriously in F1 -- look at the last two American drivers, Scott Speed and Michael Andretti. Anyone who paid the slightest bit of attention to Michael Andretti knew he was a giant whiner. Sadly, people in NASCAR take Scott Speed seriously, and after he announced he painted his toenails blue (the same color as his Red Bull Toyota Tundra truck in 2008), people accused him of being gay. I say sadly because it's obvious Scott Speed was showing some personality and not being spineless. After that, it seems like everyone got the message -- nobody takes Scott Speed seriously anymore -- they don't take his NASCAR results seriously seeing as he's not willing to play along with Disney and their publicity. Oh, did I say Disney? I meant ESPN -- because Disney owns them -- and their coverage is vomitworthy.

But one thing is for sure, Scott Speed has overtaken more people in NASCAR than he ever did in F1, and I'd talk about Michael Andretti in CART but I'd have to bring out the waaahmbulance for him at some points and at others (1995 CART Season) point and laugh at him.

Ireland has this guy

He's in the Dáil (Parliament). No joke.

Edit - rffp, this may be an F1 forum, but there's no race for 4 months so we need to keep the forum ticking over by discussing anything we can, otherwise it might die.

I forget Hill won a title because by right he shouldn't really have won it, von Trips was championship leader until is fatal crash. So I guess its stuck in my mind that von Trips was champ when really he wasn't.

This goes back to the worthy champion thread. Either way, his name is in the books.
