Looking forward to the 'New' F-1, just around the corner

Is that the group that Danica drives in?

Danica's a swear word, isn't it

can't wait!

I can't wait to see what will happen with the reunion of Ross and Mike. Actually quite a few of the seat changes should bring something interesting to watch this season!

Rich, Danica drives in the IRL, Indy Racing League....unless they changed the name. It's an open wheel series, and the cars look like F1 cars.

She's trying her hand at NASCAR this year also. I think she's driving out of Little E's team....but not sure. I know she will do some Nationwide(?) series stuff.

Sounds like this US F1 deal is starting to turn into a bit of a chit-show

Yea, it's too bad. It seems like their financing took a bad turn. I was looking forward to seeing their effort.

I still can't wait for the season to start though!

Don't know what it is for sure, money or time

. Can't believe they would get this far into it & have a money problem, Not a couple of dumb guys, they know what this sport costs

I agree with you Ryan. I just figure that with the down turn starting in 08 and getting to be worse in 09 all that would parallel when USF1 would have been doing proto-typing? If the money started to bail on them due to "recession" reasons would they have told anyone? I would think that those guys would have kept that close so as not to spook any of the money that was still signed on.

It's a shame for the bad timing but I see the scramble for money taking place in even NASCAR's situation. Heck it's been going on there for two yrs already.

Now it sounds like one of the key principles, Peter Windsor, may have left the team & they have offered a 7 figure bond to F-1 so they will delay, but hold their spot on the grid until 2011...The room is spinning, please make it
