After many rumors of delays and setbacks building their Type 1 car, Peter Windsor has said yesterday that the USF1 won't be in the grid in 2010, as the team won't be ready for Barhein following finantial difficulties. The team also was unable to fulfill the FIA requirements as they failed to do their crash test in the past few days.

Due to this situation, José María "Pechito" López, so far the only driver who has been confirmed to drive for USF1, is desperatly trying to find a seat. Windsor has set him free to negotiate with Campos Meta team to have López as their number two driver, but the spanish team is also having finantial difficulties and it's uncertain if they will take part of the grid as well...

Also moving to Campos Meta team would be Chad Hurley, cofounder of YouTube, who also was the main investor of the american team.

If it's confirmed that USF1 won't take part of the grid, the FIA could allow another team in: Stefan GP, who's cars are ready and who has two drivers signed: Kazuki Nakajima (who putted money from his own pocket to race) and the Indian Karun Chandhok, who's contract would be signed in the next few days.
