The story apparntly goes somthing like this:

Chad Hurley advised the team as they hadn't created anything even slightly resembling a car he wanted them to purchase the Campos chassies from Dallara and use those

Peter Windsor was happy for the idea even though it meant shelving his best mate's Ken Anderson car

Ken Anderson flatly refused, to allow the team to purchase a car that he had not designed

Chad Hurley, tells them that they are muppits as he had fed them more than enough money to have created a car and has now pulled the plug

Big Mouth Windsor now looks like a total chump and Americans are once again shown up as incapable of competing or evening building a car for the highest level of motorsport

Geeze Lotus go there car together in 4 months, and Nick Wirths all CFD car is out on track

USF1 and Campos = Shit

Totally amazing neither of them opted to just buy the complete Toyota car

Hopefully Stefan Gp will get the USF1 grid slot, worry thing for the New teams is Stefen GPs car wil have the chance of gaining points as it has all of Toyota research and devlopment behind it so stright outta the box it should be competitive

Still amazing to think that Epsononly and Lola were not given entrys yet Campos and USF1 were

IF they have a performance advantage.
If not much of one, or none at all, then they won't be as Hamilton, Vettal and MS > Alonso, massa

Ferrari and McLaren are both going to implode from internal team politics

I can't wait to hear the calls of McLaren have learnt from 07, what ever who ever is Lewis's team mate will have to realise they will always be number 2, while Hamilton and his Dad are in the team it will always be Team Lewis

Mercedes and Red Bull are jsut waitng to pick up the pieces as Button and Hamilton divorce and as Teflonso and Massa also divorce

As for Ferrari two fierry latinos one of which thinks he bigger than the sport plus bring 0.06 of a second to everycar he drives, this is sure to end in tears

Mike Coughlan is involved with Stefan GP, so I can't see Ferrari allowing them in, and Frank Williams will always bitch and moan just because he can.

Their only hope will lie in purchasing the remains of USF1 and I can see Ken Anderson letting go, he's been the problem all along with any negotiations to rescue USF1 :evil:

It'd be a loooooong season, maybe two years pers season, but with only 3 races at the end of it, and there would only be two cars in each race :?

All races would be on the same track, probably somewhere boring like Valencia or Singapore :evil:

Motorsport is like sex. You could take it to track and have a long, enjoyable session, or you could take it to the strip and get it over with in less than 20 seconds.

Ah well shit happens, shows how inept the FIA really are though, as if they had shown proper Due Dilliengence during the selection process we might now have a Lola and Prodrive or even Epolunkulis* spelling on the grid

Instead we have nothing for team USA, and a spanish team trying to get its shit sorted a week out for the first race

I feel that Stefan should have been given a chance, if they have a car ready to run let them go for it.

I wonder if Stefan will be able to get tires for a season of testing while they wait now though, as it seem the Lewies dad will be getting them for his GP prep, so seem only fair the the serbs get them as well
