F1 is so competitive these days, I just don't see a team in the U.S. being able to keep up.
Even Gene Haas is using a U.K. shop for his HQ. The facility in North Carolina is not doing the heavy lifting... it's more marketing, licensing, etc.
Not as technologically advanced as todays cars obviously but I'm sure they were plenty competitive with there peers. I bet Multimatic could build one if they were of a mind to, yes there a Canadian outfit but still N. American.
