Or I would go for either Forsythe or Gibbs. And perhaps give Alex Gurney a call. I would also hope for Swift Engineering to make their F1 chassis. It has been a long time since Swift ever made an appearance.

i dont see any american chasis builder to have success for a long time. unless they buyout some team, starting from scratch seems like a herculean task to try and get near the performance levels of the top teams.

Why would a British owned and sponsored team hire an American driver?

What other than them all being rubbish you mean?

Be nice to have a team that Honda and Force could thrash.

How about Bobby Rahal, he was real awesome last time ha ha

Marco Andretti could at least have a seat on a F1 grid if they did, then we could be told in the close season how superb he is, then come the actual racing he prove to be complete pants.

What America know about single seaters could be written on a flea's little toe.

I guess they figured having a north american driver was close enough...

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

Ken Anderson doesn't have any ties with Carl Haas, and I believe he is currently employed by Gene Haas who is in jail...

And what you know about proper English is obviously even less!

Oooh ooh he missed a letter off

America knows as much about motor sport as they do about dieting and culture.

Same thing bro, "missed" is the verb that makes "off" a preposition!
In proper English it is incorrect to end a sentence with a preposition

The hole gets deeper. Keep digging dude!
:rotflmao:
Out of curiosity do you know a lot of American racing fans? If so, are they all as ignorant about
"single seater racing" as you are about your native language? :down:

I will give you an acceptable sentence for the one you butchered :p :

Oooh ooh he missed a letter! Or
I left a letter off!

In the second example "off "serves as an adverb. Its use at the end of a sentence is correct English!
