U!S!A! The United States will have an F1 team for the first time in 20 years!
You can all stop holding your breath. The United States will be fielding an F1 team for the 2010 season. The important thing for viewers of this website to be aware of is the following quote describing the mission of the new team:
“To prove that American technology, American drivers and the American competitive spirit can compete and win on the F1 global stage.”
Placing the phrase ‘American technology’ first in there might hint towards interesting things to come for the D3 in international motor sports.
However, one of the things that remains to be seen is whether Americans will get to see their team compete on home turf. As of October of last year, the 2009 season does not have any races currently scheduled on US soil, let alone anywhere in North America.
The story was initially broken by SpeedTV according to Jalopnik yesterday.
For those who would like some more history on the F1 racing in the United States, here is the history according to Formula 1.com.
