USF1 to quit F1

The USF1 team is reportedly on the verge of quitting Formula One - and before they had even started.
After reading Windsor's nauseating articles in F1 Racing, in which he seems to believe he can do everyone's job far better than they can, part of me is taking great delight in seeing what a total mess he's making of running an F1 team. A question to those who know about NASCAR (I know nothing). Do the NASCAR teams spend more or less than the F1 teams to go racing?

I really cant get my head around the FIA's decision on the new teams. Prodrive/Aston Martin were a proven team with finance and infrastructure already in place. What were the FIA thinking when they selected the new entries? I hope that Prodrive get a place next year and make a good job of rubbing it in the FIA's face.

Everyone outside of the FIA thought that Prodrive/Aston Martin would be the first new team to be accepted to race in F1, however Bernie and the FIA chose Miky Mouse outfits that would have difficulty in getting a car to the grid let alone be competetive. I don't think they like Dave Richards very much. They've made a rod for their own backs now and there is no way out. How can it be that these teams are being allowed to race creating a dangerous situation by being 5 to 10 seconds a lap slower than all the other teams? Perhaps the FIA want to have several moving chicains on the track to try and improve the lack of overtaking? I also hope that Stephan GP are not allowed to compete with last years Toyota, that would be a real joke!

Perhaps next year we can get back to normality and get Prodrive accepted onto the grid. With MAX now out of the picture, Richards stands a better chance of entering a team.
