American Formula 1 fans will fail to see two teams, Caterham and Marussia, and four drivers in action at Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas this weekend.
Both Marussia and Caterham are facing serious and deep financial problems, and are now run by administrators. The two teams confirmed they will miss the United States and Brazilian Grands Prix.
"Unfortunately, due to team's situation, I will not able to race in United States GP and Brazilian GP," wrote Caterham driver, Japanese Kobayashi on his official Facebook page. "I am very sorry for the fans looking forward those races.
"While I am carefully observing the situation, I will evaluate possibilities and make best choice for my future."
Kobayashi's teammate, Marcus Ericsson, also feels sorry.
"Turbulent times. A lot of things going on at the moment," the Swede wrote on Twitter.
"But I'm pushing on as usual and keeping my spirit high. Thanks to all my amazing fans for all your support."
