Thanks, this led me to the video on "Automated fibre placement technologies for aerospace applications" from the Bristol Composites Institute/Institution of Mechanical Engineers, which is really impressive and shows that this sort of process and carbon fiber layup in general has come a long way with robotics.
F1 teams with ITAR controls
As far as teams where ITAR could apply, I don't think the Haas team has much worry. There hasn't been a competitive F1 team from America for at least a generation.
Fingers crossed for Cadillac/Andretti!
In case you missed it, Andretti name was removed the moment Cadillac officially announced joining F1.

selling your driver seat to russian oligarchs son doesnt help
Yeah, skirting the sanctions on russia to supply them with mills for weapons manufacturing wasn't a great look either. Plus the fact that they are awful at F1. Would be nice to have an American team that I could actually cheer for
GM - via the Cadillac brand - is coming to F1 from next season, which is also a season in which there will be regulation changes to the cars themselves (i.e., everything to play for, everyone is starting from new, almost). With several US GPs, it's a good time to be a US F1 fan. As a Brit living a few miles from Woking, it's not a bad time for me, either... :)
That's true, and I do enjoy not having to watch the races live at 4am in my time zone. Also, the only reason GM is still around is because of crazy government bailouts. So I guess I can pretend Ive helped fund an F1 team with my tax dollars.
