2010 may see the first US team,US F1 (http://www.formula1.com/), on the Formula 1 lineup in more than 40 years and YouTube’s co founder, Chad Hurley, will be its primary investor.

Chad Hurley (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chad_Hurley), foundedYouTube (http://www.youtube.com/) in 2005 along with Steve Chen and Jawed Karim. After only one year the video sharing site was sold to Google for $1.65 billion. Hurley remains on the YouTube board and will certainly bring along a lot of business acumen to motorsports most expensive venue, Formula 1. “Getting in on the ground floor of a project of this size and scope is a tremendous opportunity,”
