Stillborn USF1 team fined, banned from F1 forever?

The World Motor Sport Council is just catching up to USF1's premature disappearance from Formula 1. The WSMC has reportedly banned the American ex-team forever – which we're guessing means the troika of Ken Anderson, Peter Windsor and Chad Hurley – from competing in F1, and fined it $382,000 as well as legal costs.

USF1 has seven days to appeal, but we wonder how much this really means. If the WSMC couldn't ban Flavio Briatore and Pat Symonds for cheating in an actual race, it's unclear whether the USF1 ban will stick. And since it's the team that's banned, not the people, we'd be less than shocked if Windsor or Anderson or Hurley showed up somewhere else on the grid in another guise. Thanks for the tip, Chris
