So now they almost hired a driver: http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/80273 well, from another source I read that the poor guy needs to bring 8 Million € in order to join the team....ouch french source: http://www.toilef1.com/Jose-Maria-Lopez-signe-chez-USF1.html oops sorry, already posted on the previous page ..
must be based on this article on f1 live from July 8th - here's part of it..... US F1 has turned down the opportunity to sign lucrative deals with pay-drivers for its Formula One championship debut next year. "We've been offered well over three quarters of our racing budget by two drivers already, neither of whom have raced in Formula One but both have won races in GP2," said the American team's co-principal Peter Windsor. "Both of them have massive sponsorship they can bring us from their home country," Windsor, also revealing that neither of the pay-drivers are American, said in an interview with Sports Illustrated. He said the pay-drivers were turned down. "Ken (Anderson) and I have got to be very strong, look one another in the eye and say, 'no, we're not gong to accept that money, we're not going to hire those guys because we're going to remain true to our convictions'," said Windsor. Windsor said it is US F1's aim to give both cockpits to young American hopefuls. In 2010, however, one of the seats could go to an experienced non-American veteran, for instance Austrian Alex Wurz. Mentioned by the specialist press as among the favourites for the second seat are Americans including Jonathan Summerton, Graham Rahal and Ryan Hunter-Reay.
I think the Summertons are too clever to be suckered in by any of the BS from the Ultra Secret Fantasy 1 team.
