Hell no! I doubted Scott Speed initially, but now think he's worthy of a seat in F1.

Honda and Red Bull anyone?

The more teams the better It's been some time since the likes of Haas and Penske tried their luck in F1 so a US team would be very welcome, and their arrival may even secure a US GP once again which can only be good news for the sport.

[saerensenatljn]

Frankly, I don't see it. The logistics of the business just don't make sense for a US based team.

F1 has such shaped, that all teams have to be based in Europe. In Western Europe, to be precise.

[texbrease]

Yes but there's nothing to say an American led team can't be based in Europe. After all we have Honda in England and Toyota in Germany.

For 2009? Being from the great white north-- A snowball's chance in that very hot place.

[pavlik]

good news, I hope so and I hope penske and haas are involved, They are the only ones I trust could put together a first rate team. ( and maybe ganassi, but I don't think he's at their level)

and I would base it in england.

[pavlik]

btw, that's a good article there

[VUzgOhgv]

And with the 2010 rules in place, I wonder if Panoz will get involved?

Now that would be interesting

Penske is a control freak. He doesn't want an F1 team unless he can devote 24 hours a day to it. Haas in is prision so he can't do much. I think Rick Hendrick has the money to do it. Maybe Richard Childress could. But they would probably have to have GM's blessing.

[corkBrobe]

that's almost funny.

You are joking, but I have good inside info that Panoz is already designing a front engine car that will be great.........

[JeremyBalll]

You are joking, but I have good inside info that Panoz is already designing a front engine car that will be great and devasting, with a honda hybrid engine.........

Are you serious? Who will drive it?

[JeremyBalll]

Are you serious? Who will drive it?

Dale Jr. and Jeff Gordon...they will not have the problem of transistion from rear engine cars to front engine (the reason that JV and JPM are having so much trouble is those nastycars do not have rear engines, so as they do a frontie, those two will have none of the adjustment problems that a scott not speed, DP or others might have......)

[derisgun]

I'll give this brainstorm a miss.

Wrong Haas. Carl Haas is not in prison and never has been in prison.

BTW, there will be an American team when hell freezes over.

[Calluffence]

BTW, there will be an American team when hell freezes over.

Agreed. As much as I would like to see this happen, we should have a successful American driver before any talk of an American backed team.

[VUzgOhgv]

When British-American Racing entered F1, why they did not place an American driver on the team back then?
