Things are not going according to plan for Formula One newcomer US F1, team principal Ken Anderson revealed last week they are in discussion with the FIA to get permission to miss the first four races of this season, which would mean they would join the rest of the teams during the Spanish Grand Prix on May 7-9. What exactly is going on, is unknown, they could have financial problems, or problems with building the car. Insiders reported that "sponsor money didn't come through the way it was supposed to." And without money to pay their suppliers, US F1 will certainly not get the parts they need to finish the car in time.

personally, i think they should let the next in line race if they can, even though they would only run the four races, it would give them enormous exposure and r&d as well as sponsorship camera time and if they do well will might keep/get more/better sponsorship as well...
