That way, the two drivers who are known in the states will be run by a team known in the states.
But we all know THATS not going to happen, thanks Kolles for rendering the "customer"/"supply" team unethical, also Ferrari wouldn't want two unknowns driving their cars.
blasphemy! all yellow ferraris should belong to the écurie national belge just like they did in the fifties in formula one!
There was a precedent in the late '60s for Ferrari to enter cars in blue-and-white under the North American Racing Team (NART) banner.

Don't hold your breath. He and his friend weren't even present when the factory staff was informed. If they can't talk to their own staff...
Wel, I heard that headquarters telephone lines are already cut for unpayment. So I think I can put my cellphone to charge mode without eating my nails.

If the boss is unavailable, no matter if sources says they are running, crawling or just dead, the reality is they are dead.
Such a pity that, at this stage, every newcomer is about to give a shameful show. Lotus 5,5 secs out of the pace, Virgin unable to field a car properly and, anyway, 6 secs out of the pace; USF1 eating their words with a chocolate cover of bankruptcy all over it, Campos gradually becoming a phantom team and Stefan being no more that a general idea of how things can become even worse.
Budget cap may have daunted them, all bar USF1 that always stated that they never needed it, but the truth is that, at this stage, the whole idea of bringing them is falling into pieces.
I'm sad that an Argentinian driver has lost out and been essentially taken for a ride. Oscar L would never had let this happen!
...and i was hoping we'd get the Potrero de Los Funes on the map, still the best racetrack around.
Its a big 'ol mess even by reject standards.
Second time around since Mazzacane was also linked to DART (old Prosts for Arrows financial purposes, remember?).
Larrauri would have driven a cart with four small bearings for wheels if it would have been up to him. If he had reaceived something from the Arg government, it was nothing more that the word "vanished" tatooed in his forehead from all english teams in 1982 after the Malvinas/falklands war.
And yes, Potrero de Funes it's a must for the years to come in F1, if Bernie gives the nod, obviously.
Winners have lots of friends, losers have good friends.

Of course! *facepalm* I meant that. -_- Also, doesn't Julien Bianchi count as sort-of-Belgian? Edit: JULES!! JULES Bianchi... Jeez, what is it with me and remembering the names of (part) Belgian drivers?!
no and yes, jules bianchi is family (i think the son) of former sportscar driver mauro bianchi, who is family (nephew i think) of belgian ex-formula1 driver lucien bianchi (you probably mixed up jules and lucien to julien) but they had allready different nationalities back those days. I think the first is french and the second belgian, though they're both half italian actually.
but we're should be talking about usf1 here, sorry forgive me for getting distracted by yellow ferraris, it can happen to everyone!

Ah, no worries. There doesn't seem to be much to say about USF1 anyway, so yellow Ferraris and the intriguing story of the half-Italian Bianchi family sounds just as interesting.
as discussing about USF1 is basically endlessly repeating the same over and over... everything should be more interesting even my forumname is more exciting, and at least my name isn't a lie, credit to me for that!

If Patrick and Villeneueve were their best options, I'd say they were already well and truly screwed from the outset.

Now this is a story all about how Peter’s dream got flip turned upside down I’d like to take a minute, just sit right there I’ll tell you how USF1 vanished into thin air.
In Charlotte, North Carolina, born and raised On SPEEDTV is where they spent most of their days Interviewing, videoing, relaxing all cool and all Chatting with Bob Varsha outside near the tools
When a couple of investors, they had lots of money Saw the shops and decided to stop the funding. Peter signed one little driver from the land of Fangio and said “He’s won a lot of races and hey, he brings some dinero!”
Peter whistled for some sponsors and when they came near, They saw the shop for sale and said “Let’s get outta here!” If anything, I could say that they could have built a roller, But hey, They were a bigger farce than Mastercard Lola!
The team got out of the entry list for Twenty-Ten No chance that they will get in again! Looked at the list, it was finally clear, Peter Windsor and Ken Anderson have no reason to cheer.

Epic.
The bit in those credits where Will Smith holds his nose in a car - so appropriate.

Blase them. Now we have 2 less cars on the grid, and neither Prodrive, or Lola, received its legitimate opportunity. The better for them to call it quits.
I hope some disgruntled ex-employee smacks Windsor in the chops. Smug git. The rationale for the team seemed to be that F1 needed Americans in the sport (it doesnt) as much as Americans needed to be in F1 (they don't). There seemed to be some belief that the country would, en masse, get behind the team for reasons not made clear, and I always felt they were just hanging on for that moment. They seemed to hope that this massive groundswell of support would have sponsors positively harming each other to get on-board, allowing Windsor and Anderson to pick and choose.
