"         The US F1 team did not have a car on the grid for the season opener in Bahrain, and it appears they won&amp;#039;t be racing at all in 2010. Co-founders Peter Windsor and Ken Anderson have split, and the Charlotte-based team is in disarray. Anderson was responsible for creating the car, and his first-class design skills and long record of meeting deadlines disguised the fact that, this time, he might have been in over his head. Insiders claim he has micromanaged everything and that early on he became a bottleneck that stalled other parts of the operation.            TV TIME:     WHERE YOU FIND YOUR FAVORITE RACING SERIES          It&amp;#039;s that time of year, when all the major auto racing series are back at it after a long winter&amp;#039;s break. Here&amp;#039;s where to find your favorite racing series on TV this season:                Formula 1:      All races are on Speed, except for Turkey, Britain, Germany and Hungary, which are on Fox.                IndyCar:      There are 12 events on Versus (in HD) and five on ABC, including the Indianapolis 500.                Grand-Am Rolex:      All races are on Speed. Eight of the 10 Continental Challenges races will also be broadcast (tape-delay).                American Le Mans:      All races (and the 24 Hours of Le Mans) are on Speed, but the Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca and Mid-Ohio events are on CBS.                World Rally Championship:      All rallies are on the Discovery Channel&amp;#039;s HD Theater (in-car cameras will be in HD for the first time).       Money, too, became scarce. Windsor and Anderson had always intended other sponsorship\u2014including deals with qualified drivers who could pay for their rides\u2014to augment the team&amp;#039;s initial financing from YouTube co-founder Chad Hurley. Finding these deals was Peter Windsor&amp;#039;s responsibility, and just after Christmas, he signed Jose Maria Lopez for a hefty $8 million. But the team never collected the money because it couldn&amp;#039;t provide a car for Lopez, and other deals also began falling through as word spread of US F1&amp;#039;s plight.   In mid-January, Windsor and Hurley were both in Charlotte, grasping the full reality of the situation for the first time. Anderson was bunkered in, shutting out the press and taking few calls. Moreover, with money running low, suppliers were beginning to cut off the team, the team was late paying salaries, people were quitting and the Internet was full of anonymous doomsday reports. US F1&amp;#039;s troubles were particularly painful for those who had begun to sense that, given the right management, the team had the core talent and facilities for a successful effort.   US F1&amp;#039;s failure to make the grid at Bahrain will violate the Concorde Agreement and put the team at risk of permanent exclusion from F1. At first, Anderson asked for a four-race exemption, which newly elected FIA President Jean Todt seemed inclined to grant. But this soon proved to be not as much as they needed, and the team askedthe FIA for permission to start fresh in 2011, offering to post a $5 million bond that they would forfeit if they fail to keep their end of the bargain.   It all boils down to this: What now constitutes US F1? And when (if ever) will the team make the grid? So much is in flux at our time of publication that it&amp;#039;s impossible to say. But this much we do know: The team&amp;#039;s fate (likely known by the time you read this) depends on F1&amp;#039;s power brokers, with Bernie Ecclestone opposed to them (he has no stake in their success) and Jean Todt on their side. I talked with FIA Vice President Nick Craw prior to the season, and this American said he planned to bring all his political acumen\u2014and clout as president of the FIA senate\u2014to bear on the team&amp;#039;s behalf. F1 needs teams, he pointed out, and one of Todt&amp;#039;s missions is to get F1 back into the American market\u2014something the Formula 1 team owners are insisting upon.
