USF1 on Twitter: 'We are not gone'

The USF1 operation’s web site flickered Thursday night, then went dark. Then this on Twitter:

“The US F1 Team web server is down and is being repaired as this is written. We are not gone, as many have reported. More news soon.”

And the USF1 site came back up.

The site had no news of Wednesday's meetings at USF1 headquarters in Charlotte. Argentine driver Jose Maria Lopez and his representatives came to town to sit down with the team's leadership.

Nothing on the group’s departure and travel to London for meetings with Formula One's top officials either.

The top of the home page was occupied by a Jan. 25 item announcing that USF1 had signed Lopez to drive in 2010.
