Boycott averted at United States Grand Prix 90 minutes before race The three teams who were ready to boycott Sunday's United States Grand Prix, Force India, Sauber and Lotus, waited until 90 minutes before the start of the race before announcing that they would compete after all. But the crisis has been averted for now only and is likely to return before the next race in Brazil unless there are significant developments. The question is, "Can that issue be resolved?" But given the determination of Fernley and other members of the smaller teams to establish a clear strategy for the future of the sport, the financial crisis that has seized Formula One, with both Caterham and Marussia going into administration in the past 10 days, has merely been postponed.
