I forgot to comment that is really heartbreaking to hear that the USF1 pulled out. And Dana I share your feeling that the rest of the F1 world is just staring and laughing internally. It sucks.

You must've been away for WAY too long. Although this article is only from today, it's been pretty much a sure thing for a while now.

That is the worst part.
Absolutely.. That is the worst part of it all... Bernie is laughing as he says "I told you so... Americans"

No wonder we will never have a GOOD F1 race here. Once again we look like losers to the world of F1...

Thanks USF1.. great job...

There is no excuse for this...none! I'm with you Dana. I will not be listening to Windsor walk the grid this season, and if the execs at SPEED have a single motherf*cking bone in that spine of theirs, they won't have him on the grid either.

This is bad of course for the US, but I feel SO MUCH worse for the employees involved in this debacle. I know a lot of people just pulled chocks and moved to be a part of it.

Al - I'm actually glad for you they didn't pick you up after you applied. They've ruined people's lives, and I'm not sure they really even care. There is the true crime in this.

On top of the disappointment with the confirmation of what we have speculated for a week or so, I am sickened that neither of the team principals were present at the factory to speak with the employees themselves. Wtf? It's probably better that they shut this crap down before the season - throughout this whole thing, their lack of leadership skill has really been exposed.

They didn't even fire up a car.

That means that they were at least a month away from having any type of testable car on the grid.

In other words - they weren't even close.

Must stop. Getting pissed again.

Come on, Dana. Help me out. We'll buy what there is of USF1 for pennies on the dollar and shove it in Windsor's face!
