Peter Windsor has hit back at and firmly denied reports that USF1 will certainly not be ready for the 2010 season because it is not yet crash-testing parts for its car.

The reports also said Windsor, the new Charlotte-based team's sporting director as well as a formula one journalist, has left the door open to the possibility of selling the official team entry to another outfit.

"The report seemed to come out of Switzerland/Germany, the land of BMW-Sauber," he told the online magazine GPWeek, referring to the fact that the Hinwil based team has not yet been granted a guaranteed berth on the 2010 grid.

Windsor said "several" components for the 2010 car have been "successfully" crash-tested, and that more tests will take place this and next month.

He denied he recently voted in favour of having the ability to sell USF1's entry, and also shed doubt on the context of quotes attributed to Ross Brawn, where the Brackley based team's boss seemed to question whether USF1 will be ready to debut next March.

"Back in the real world, we're re-furbishing some trucks we've just bought from Brawn," said Windsor.

"As for USF1 Team, I can only repeat what Ken (Anderson) and I have been saying ever since we signed the Concorde Agreement: our slot is not for sale under any circumstances and we will be racing, and giving it 100 per cent, from Bahrain onwards."

Good luck Peter and USF1! As a long time Schumacher fan I loved this past season and the fight among the under dogs. Best of luck from Miami FL.

I'd like to see VW Group enter F1 with an Auto Union team lead by the one and only Schumacher. Now that would be epic, USF1 meh.

I could see it happening. VW is poised to overtake Toyota as the largest global car producer. They could do it in dramatic fashion this way. I love there products. Hope the R20 (if that is what it is finally called) comes to the U.S.

If I close my eyes I can see many things. That doesn't make them real.
