Are they just doing a shakedown there or a full test? I'm sure a photo will leak somewhere either way, like the Williams.

I think it's a full test, in place of one of the European tests that will be attended by other teams.

SF1's executive vice-president Peter Windsor has once again been forced to jump to the defence of his beleaguered outfit.

The team's participation in this year's Championship were thrown into fresh doubt this week when F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone stated "I do not believe in the involvement of USF1 and Campos".

USF1, though, insists they will be on the grid come the first race in Bahrain. They have already signed up Argentine Jose Maria Lopez and there are strong rumours that they've tied down Spaniard Adrian Valles as their second drive.

Windsor says they are back on track after a slight hiccup.

"We're still in exactly the same mode - flat out," he told Autosport. "Bahrain is the goal - and we are not thinking of anything else. It is just amazing to see the hours and time that everyone is putting in.

"We had a slight bump in the road with a sponsor who was late on payment, but that is typical of what can happen to any new team. We've moved on from that and found a replacement.

"The car is quite late because we put a massive amount of development time into it. We are taking our time and as a team we are confident we are on the right track.

"As soon as we are through the crash tests, we will be doing a shakedown and going to Bahrain.

"We will be in Bahrain. We may not be pretty, but we will be there. And from there we will grow. This is all about belief, passion and people being committed to a very good cause."


USF1 has gone from saying they'd have a rolling chasis in Nov to saying they might just mange a shake down (no testing) before Baharin.

They are going to be so back of the grid its not going to be funny.

Oh it will be funny, don't worry about that.

But it is looking bad - he's bascily admitted his team won't make any of the pre-season tests.

Man, this team's a joke. Admittedly, not as much as Campos Meta 1.
