USF1 Concerns
Like you, I also am really stressed out and concerned about USF1.
Here we are, one month away from the first Grand Prix of the year in Bahrain. It should be a really awesome season, with four new teams and Michael Schumacher back on the grid. And I’ve been waiting for the past two years for this year because of the announced USF1 team.
But I’m worried now. Worried, because we’re only a month away from the season opener, and USF1 still only has one driver. The only other team in this position is Campos F1; everyone else has both drivers in place. And seemingly every other team has unveiled their 2010 car, but USF1 has not.
It makes me wonder if they are having trouble finding sponsors. This should not be a problem. I can think of some great American companies with a global presence that could be great sponsors. My employer, Microsoft, immediately comes to mind (Steve, that’s your cue). But hey, if not Microsoft, what about Google? Or Budweiser? Or Wells Fargo? Or Novell?
Haha! Just kinda got carried away there!
Anyway, having provided an obviously excellent solution to the financial problem (Microsoft), I’ll now suggest a solution to the driver problem:
Me.
I volunteer. I will do it.
In fact, USF1, give me the job and I’ll drop everything and be in Charlotte within 24 hours. I’d happily take a one-year contract for, say $1M. This is probably a lot less than you would have to pay anyone else. I have lots of driving experience; for example, I drive to work and back every day. And I also have played lots of racing games, like Need For Speed and Project Gotham.
Don’t thank me. This is what I’m good at: solving problems. Just say the word and consider it done.
