Team America preparing for F1 2010

At present, USF1 is nothing more than a url with a logo on it, but we’re assured that the team behind the US Formula One team’s bid is deadly serious about entering the championship in 2010.

Behind the scenes, British ex-Williams and Ferrari man Peter Windsor, and Indy Car and NASCAR stalwart Ken Anderson are working to assemble a serious team, based from workshops in Charlotte, North Carolina – pretty much home of the NASCAR - along with a European base in Bilbao, Spain.

Naturally, all this is academic without the blessing of F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone, but we’ve heard on the quiet that he’s well up for a team that’s “Made in America” – that really is the USF1 team’s slogan too.

To be honest, we welcome anyone who is attempting to fly in the face of the current money mess. Good luck.
