    So the news that they were going to run next season instead is dead now?

    They were never anything to start with. Radio Le Mans visited their headquarters and it's essentially a shack with USF1 written on it.

    Good riddance.

    I never really had hope for them anyway. What a way to represent America though, we can't even have an F1 team yet alone a driver.

    Damn, even though we would have been in last every race it would have been cool to see a US team take shape. Go America!

    Whatever. F1 is not a sport about countries. It's about the marques that represent them.

    The way it sits today, only Dan Gurney's AAR Eagle Weslake has an F1 victory to it's name and that was Spa '67.

    The only REAL possibility of a U.S. team is if Penske returns or Chip Ganassi does it and both are highly unlikely. This country needs to leave the brainwashed state of spec Nascar before F1 is a possibility.

    I had a feeling this was going to happen once I heard about the YouTube founder pulling out. They took forever to find a driver and the only thing I was looking forwards to was some sweet in car footage on YouTube HD without everything getting deleted.
