Argentine driver Jose Maria Lopez has reportedly signed to race with the USF1 team in 2010.
The 26-year-old former GP2 driver, who has recently been racing in his country's touring car championship, must complete a $8m sponsorship package but has signed documentation at the team's Charlotte base, the Corsa publication said.
"The agreement with the American team is done," said Carlos Garcia Remohi, an official with the Argentine club.
"We have a week to finish collecting the budget."
Lopez, who occasionally tested with Renault a few years ago, was pictured by the ambito.com website standing at the USF1 entrance with principals Ken Anderson and Peter Windsor.
"To be specific, at this moment we lack about 20 per cent of the budget," Lopez's father confirmed.

Bullshit. Despain along with Varsha have been talking about this for well over a month now. The shit really started to fall apart in mid January when a key sponsor (who it is I dont know) failed to come through with it's commitment and that was desperate needed funding. Hell, the FIA released <u>IT'S</u> official release that USF1 wouldnt be running in the beginning of March and everyone who was watching them knew well in advance of this that they werent going to make it this year. -
Hmmm well seeming as how I was watching the Live Practice race tonight and the announcers said they were not allowed to say anything yet so...
I won't deny that they have been going a little downhill at the start of this year, but just kinda makes me 'annoyed' when people try to play it off like it was 'old new.' Oh please. Self proclaimed F1 Guru.

It was old news. The explanation about the sponsor dropout in January is accurate. Charlie Whiting has been to the USF1 folks a few times to see what could be done.
It sucks.
OTH, Schumacher wasn't slow in friday practice. I'm hoping for a Schumacher vs. Hamilton battle in 2010.

Im excited for the season. And Will, I am not a F1 guru. I just follow it very closely. The USF1 not making it IS OLD NEWS. That team has me excited to see happen. I have been watching them closer than any other aspect of F1.
Schumacher is still my fav to win but, I want to see how Rosberg and Vettel do.
