F1 trailers for sale

Two Formula One trailers used by 2009 world champions Brawn before being bought by the would-be US F1 team have been put up for sale on eBay after being seized under a court order issued by a British creditor.

The US-based team had been due to enter the championship this season but failed to build a car in time due to financial problems.

"It's quite sad news in a way but inevitable in this sort of climate," David Carter, director of The Sheriffs Office debt collection company responsible for enforcing the writ, told Reuters on Monday.
