USF1 secures its presence in 2010

While the information announcing the impossibility of the USF1 team to be ready for the world championship of Formula 1 2010 is multiplying, Nick Craw has stepped up to the plate. Freshly elected head of the FIA ​​Senate, Craw told Speed ​​TV that the American team had paid its non-refundable entry fees to secure its place on the grid in 2010.

In addition, the President of the FIA ​​Senate also assured that the Charlotte-based team did not present any major delays in its development. “ I did a full tour (of the factory) twice and I was impressed. And if you want proof of the presence or not of USF1, they sent their entry fees ten days ago. The figure is close to $440, which means they will be there. »

Ross Brawn, director of the Brawn GP team, had expressed his doubts about the presence of the American team from the start of the 2010 season. The Briton was referring to the fact that Peter Windsor?s team did not have carried out its frontal and side crash tests internally before carrying out the official tests.
