USF1 late for 2010?

Will the American team be ready for the 2010 season? Formula 1 ? In any case, this is the question that Ross Brawn asks himself. The boss of the Brawn GP team is surprised to find that the Charlotte-based team is behind schedule on essential tests, the crash tests of the car's components, generally carried out internally before participating in the tests required by the FIA.

« We have been carrying out crash tests with components from the new car over the past two months, to be ready for official testing., Brawn told Auto Motor und Sport. A new team should do the same if they want to be ready for the start of the season. » According to the German magazine, the chances of the USF1 team being ready for the start of the next season are close to zero.

For his part, Peter Windsor was reassuring. Recently, the leader of the American team assured that USF1 would allow the emergence of the next American world champion in F1. It now remains for the Charlotte team, which has chosen Motorland Aragon as its European base, to succeed in designing a car competitive which can be ready for the start of the 2010 season.
