The new Team US F1 has pulled off a major coup by securing the services of YouTube co-founder and CEO Chad Hurley for its 2010 assault on grand prix racing, as AUTOSPORT predicted.

Following weeks of speculation linking Hurley with the operation, the Charlotte-based F1 team confirmed on Wednesday night that the billionaire will be the outfit's primary investor. http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/77778

Getting a billionaire onboard means they have a fighting chance of being competitive, although in this era of cost cutting he won't have to put too much into the team. Clever!

Plus there's the outside possibility that F1 clips may legally be allowed on a certain video-sharing website soon
