I am proud to say that I’m an F1 fan. Now more than ever though, with the announcement of the USF1 team and their plans to enter in 2010, this could not come at a better time both economically and for the American F1 fan. I say this because currently there is no North American Grand Prix (USA and Canada are not on the schedule for 2009) and with the economy in it’s current state, we are seeing cutbacks in spending in F1 that allow for new teams to come aboard. As I watch the presentation, I kept thinking how both Ken Anderson and Peter Windsor make the perfect team in building the USF1 Team. With their backgrounds in motorsport and with technology so close to them, this team is just begging for greatness.
I think that there were a couple of missed questions and focus from the interview as it became more about money and a little about technology. I think if I were to ask any questions it would be:
- What are your goals for the first and second year? I understand that you want to do good but by your definition what does that mean?
- What should we expect out of the USF1 team?
- Staying within the rules of the FIA and FOM, do you think that the USF1 team can bring or implement new technologies over the competition? Here are my suggestions!
- What kind of schooling will the USF1 Team provide for its technicians, management and more importantly, its drivers?
No matter what team USF1 decides to do they will have my support the whole way! As much as I’m a Ferrari fan and more importantly a Kimi Raikkonen fan, I think I still will have a team shirt or two to show my support. I not only think that USF1 has brought F1 back to North Americans but they’ve also brought hope to the sport.

On that note, you guys at USF1 need any PR people or I have a computer technical background? I’d pretty much do anything to be on the USF1 team! If you’d like to check them out and see what they have to offer go to: www.usf1.com
