There is a palpable excitement among American Formula One fans to start USF1 momčadi.Pitanje is whether this is a joke or not? The answer might surprise you.
We have been down this road prije.USF1 team has launched a Peter Windsor is hardly the first effort for the American team in Formula One. "Eagle" team in the 1960s had some serious success and most people do not mention that the Indianapolis 500 is actually a Formula One event in the early days. However, without the U.S. team, even a sniff of Formula One for at least 20 years.
So why the sudden change? The answer lies in the current state of Formula prvenstvu.Posljednjih period of 20 years have seen exploding costs. If you had $ 200 million budget, it really is not worth entering the competition. Honda is rumored to be a budget of $ 300 million or more, and everyone who bought the finishing positions in the back of the pack.
Well, things have changed in Formula One. Cutting costs is the name of the game these days. While the big teams still spend astonishing sums of money, they are now putting together a package for PRIVATEERS cheaper for the race. Engines, for example, will cost $ 10 million for the season PRIVATEERS. That sounds like a lot, but the spare change in Formula One. With all the cuts, Formula One pirate conceivably can now go racing for the 50 million or less, a chance to be reasonably competitive.
Does this mean USF1 team will be a success? Well, early indications are not great. If time is an element of the equation, USF1 could not pick a worse time to go utrke.Gospodarstvo the mess and finding sponsorship for a team that has never put a tire on the track seems pretty hard zadatak.Tim, however, has a slow roll out the first race is not scheduled until the season 2010th Furthermore, the capital has apparently raised for the expansion.
On the plus side the book, the people behind the USF1 efforts are not new in Formula One. Ken Anderson is a long-time engineer who is technical director for two F1 teams, as well as Indy Car and others. Peter Windsor is a different man, and is known as a journalist for most people. True, he was team manager of Ferrari and Williams. Tim is a good choice, because Anderson will discuss the technical side, and Windsor for the sponsors and the overall picture of the team.
Thus, USF1 joke or not? All indications are that a serious effort with a serious group of individuals involved. Will the team be competitive and win races? No one is safe, but nobody is sure about a lot of nothing in Formula One at the moment due to massive cost reductions and changes. Regardless, it will be great to root for a team from the state, especially if there are American drivers as well.
