Two US F1 team trailers have been put up for sale on eBay. The trailers were originally purchased from Brawn GP, and were planned to be used for the 2010 season. However, when USF1 ran into difficulties just weeks before the start of the season, which were discribed by the team as "serious economic and funding challenges", they were unable to make the grid in Bahrain.
just repeating my question again here.....if this merger happens, it will create a vacant grid slot as these two teams will run as a single team (if EVER happens). will StefanGP will be allowed to fill it?
Probably not the right topic for this, but Cosworth's failing was a lack of development funding over a season prior to the engine freeze.gibells wrote:Isn't the truth about Cosworth that they lacked supply contracts (over the last 2 years) simply because they weren't good enough?

A source close to US F1 tells me that the factory staff in Charlotte are in the process of making the toaster.. ..And yes, I am serious…
Where do i pre-order?!?!if the USF1 franchise gets retracted by the FIA or returned by the us boys voluntarily this is by no means an open door situation for Stefan GP,as it is totally unclear at this time if the FIA wants to invite or have Stefan GP in the championship after hiring suspect(condemned by FIA) people ,going to court against FIA,attempting to broker deals with the commercial rights holders, challenging the FIA decisions by sending material to the GP venue in Bahrain in spite of not having a slot thus queastioning the original decision process.raceman wrote:just repeating my question again here.....if this merger happens, it will create a vacant grid slot as these two teams will run as a single team (if EVER happens). will StefanGP will be allowed to fill it?
If a USF1-Stefan merge happens, I don't expect Lopez to leave. The Argentinians have already dumped money into the USF1 operation, they will want to see the benefit of that money. They will only get that if J-Lo stays.marcush. wrote:God bye Pechito to Campos?
Considering employee(s) have already been leaking information, and they are still on the payroll, I think there's a decent chance a few will be dumb enough to go yakking to the media. It'll potentially hurt their chances of working in the industry in the future, but I expect some people will be about done with motorsports after this experience.xpensive wrote:I wonder if we will ever know the truth around what happened in Charlotte, perhaps we need a 60 minutes show?

What planet are these guys on?Peter Windsor's blog post wrote:We're all complaining a little about everything closing down for the New Year but – believe me – America is currently much more industrious than the UK. Here, at our home base, we were quiet on Christmas Day (naturally) and then again today. The UK – and most of Europe – basically shut down on December 18 and will not stagger back to life until January 4. That's 16 valuable days lost in the too-short life of the F1 European winter.
And that's not all: remember the August F1 shut-down that was introduced for the first time in 2009? Well, it's happening again in 2010. Understand that most of Europe closes for August and you kind of understand the decision. Unless you're American, that is. As in Australia, August for Americans is just another working month in which some people maybe take a week or two away.
Mr Windsor? Mr. Anderson? Is there anything either of you would like to share with the class?Stefanovic has also revealed that he had discussed a merger with US F1 - which has a 2010 entry but has asked to miss the first four races as its programme is a long way behind schedule. He said these talks had now collapsed despite positive approaches from US F1 investor Chad Hurley.
"Yes, it is true we had some discussions stretching over many days, but these broke down completely on Thursday afternoon European time due to the inflexibility of certain players," Stefanovic said.
"I stress it was not Chad Hurley, who was open to discussions with us, but some of the other stakeholders who sabotaged the talks."
