Ken Anderson on where USF1's money is coming from: "We have been recruiting investors to get behind this project for a long time.

Apparently Lewis finds Eleanor Simmonds a very inspiring motivation for this forthcoming season…

TeamAmericaF1 is ‘quite something’, he says politely. I guess there’s something out there to suite everyone…

I think that TeamAmerica is in rather bad taste.
Especially the Stoddard item. I don’t think claiming that an Australian is from Austria is fun. I guess it’s nice for Americans to mock that everything outside the US doesn’t matter, but seriously, that’s just a lame attempt at humor.

It’s probably a lot more fun than being disrespectful enough to not spell Stoddart’s name right.

On the honda thing, just a thought, but a lot of comments were made yesterday about the distinct lack of mercedes logos on the Force India car. with honda having a deal with them (according to the BBC) could we see the logo appear on the Brawn/braun/fry/exhonda car?

And on a similar note, as Honda are still putting money into the team, for a while anyway, will they be insisting that ‘Honda’ is part of the name?
