Guy in the brown is probably has some disorder like autism or even parkinsons.

Looks more like sleep deprivation.

... if you know Spanish you´ll understand what did he said...

If you don't, that's what Mr. López said (3:55 into the video):

"... De ahora en adelante, bueno, el 10 de Enero, viajar a Inglaterra a hacer un par de días entrenando ahí, físicamente; ir a Austria a un simulador de Gs también, durante una semana, así que ya vamos a estar por ahí por lo del 20 de Enero, 25 de Enero; y de ahí viajar a Charlotte si Dios quiere a la presentación del auto; veremos no sé todavía si han planificado algún tipo de prueba, de chequeo del auto y ya en Febrero empiezan las pruebas comunitarias (?)".

"... From now on, well, on January 10th, travel to England to do a couple of days training there, physically; to go to Austria to a Gs simulator also, for a week, so then we're going to be around January 20th, January 25th; and from there, to travel to Charlotte, God permiting, to the car presentation; we'll see, I still don't know if they have planned some kind of testing, of car checking and then already in February the common (?) tests begin".

If they release the test dates at Barber I'm skipping work and driving there to see it!

The All-American Formula One team that's composed of at least a dozen different nationalities. If that's not American I don't know what is. I'm not being sarcastic BTW.

And if people aren't BSing around, we have at least three members that might attend the BMP test in February?

[Krispy]

I will be there if it is public. But I hear from a few folks in the "know" that it is looking pretty slim that they are actually going to have a car ready for Barber.

Looks like serious business to me.

I'd consider swinging down if its public, bit of a drive for me.

Based on Lopez comments, I would think they are planning on running either the first or second week of February at Barber. Otherwise, why ahve the driver just sitting around the shop?

[dumrick]

Well, could it be that we've been blinded by the absolute ignorance of Mr. Windsor in the past few months, and that, after all, he really didn't know that a real formula one project was being made around him (you know, the kind that has plannings, deadlines and good technicians...)?

Umm, if that's not normal for every Formula One team, i don't know what is.



That 3rd Bob Varsha video is a lot better than the first two. At least there is a healthy sense of passion coming from those that work there.
That is the one thing that i keep getting reported from my USF1-supplier contact; the guys there are full of passion & real endeavor to make the season.

[WhiteBlue]

All three videos are contributing to the impression that the team is going to do what they have announced before. No other team would expose their engineers in internet videos.

There is something about pic 4 that seems inconsistant with the 2010 rules. The image shows a design engineer doing the cockpit, fuel tank and engine area, but look how small the space between the engine and cockpit is. A 230 liter tank is certainly not going to fit in that space and looks more like one of this years tanks.

Maybe this is just a PR image of maybe USF1 has come up with a new idea to package the fuel tank in some other area of the car.

Ferrari seems to have just enlarged there tank in the same area as in the previous car, this again is just the italian press illustration which may have no relavence to Ferrari 2010 car.


And the last time we had a full race fuel tank


Another point noted is that the oil tank is still front of the engine as against the possiblity of being moved elsewhere to make room for the larger fuel tank as suggested in F1.com website.
