Double gold medalist comes to visit

Double R sign Daisuke Nakajima

USF1 starting from scratch — but with a plan

Ken Anderson on where USF1's money is coming from: "We have been recruiting investors to get behind this project for a long time. Most of our investment has come from Silicon Valley, where there is obviously a lot of enthusiasm for new technology and making sure that the United States stays on the leading edge of that."

  1. That TeamAmericaF1 site is great.

  2. great site!!!!!!!!!!!

  3. Apparently Lewis finds Eleanor Simmonds a very inspiring motivation for this forthcoming season…

    1. TeamAmericaF1 is ‘quite something’, he says politely. I guess there’s something out there to suite everyone…

  4. what a great interpretation of what the Team America car could look like!

    1. I think they know somthing other teams dont, golden eagles is somthing mclaren would never have tested before

  5. I think that TeamAmerica is in rather bad taste.

    Especially the Stoddard item. I don’t think claiming that an Australian is from Austria is fun. I guess it’s nice for Americans to mock that everything outside the US doesn’t matter, but seriously, that’s just a lame attempt at humor.

    1. I think tongues are planted firmly in cheeks.

    2. It’s probably a lot more fun than being disrespectful enough to not spell Stoddart’s name right.

    3. If typos are disrespectful then I’m a terrible person…

  6. On the honda thing, just a thought, but a lot of comments were made yesterday about the distinct lack of mercedes logos on the Force India car. with honda having a deal with them (according to the BBC) could we see the logo appear on the Brawn/braun/fry/exhonda car?

    1. And on a similar note, as Honda are still putting money into the team, for a while anyway, will they be insisting that ‘Honda’ is part of the name?
