Formula 1 Future Stars (F1FS) Racing with Jagonya Ayam has unfortunately had to withdraw from their first racing event, citing a logistical shipping error that caused all three of the teams FIA F4 cars to be sent to a small Japanese Hardware Store in the countries rural north.

Two of the teams three drivers, Young Rookie and Anders Andersen, had arrived at the Misano World Circuit earlier this morning, only to find none of their cars had arrived in Italy as scheduled. It’s been reported that the cars, most of the teams equipment, and the teams third driver, David Williams, have accidentally been sent to Japan.

“I’ve honestly no idea what happened” said the Team Principle. “It did seem a bit weird when I was signing the shipping papers, since I couldn’t really read what was written down. I just assumed it was cursive Italian or maybe even Spanish.”

With their cars half the world away, F1FS Racing had to withdraw from their debut event.

“It’s a real shame” said Rookie. “I haven’t been doing any testing since I signed up with the team, so this is a huge set back for my preparation this year.”

Andersen, Rookies team mate, was overheard saying “Danskjävel” to the Team Principle before storming out of the circuit. His current whereabouts is unknown as the rest of the paddock arrives at the track.

The teams title sponsor Jagonya Ayam were unwilling to make a comment over the situation.

In more positive news for the team, it’s been revealed via his Instagram account that Williams is now an apprentice at the Misanoya hardware store, trading set-up calibrations for food and pottery lessons.
