Feb.25 (GMM) Principals of the newly-launched USF1 team will commence talks with every carmaker in the sport about a supply of engines in 2010, Ken Anderson has revealed

The American engineer, setting up the Charlotte-based outfit with British reporter Peter Windsor, said on Tuesday that they will shop around for the best deal but are not expecting to have trouble finding a technical partner

“(For) every manufacturer in formula one now, their biggest market is the United States, the only exception to that being Renault,” he said

Anderson admitted that the engine talks, as well as negotiations about possible US-born drivers next year, have not begun yet

“We will be sending out proposals to all the manufacturers currently in formula one and let them know we are here,” he said
