Formula One driver

My Take

Scott Speed always felt like the American Formula One story that should have gone further than it did. Coming up through the Red Bull driver program, he got the Toro Rosso seat at a time when the United States barely had a foothold in the sport, and the politics of that team chewed him up before he could really show what he had. But what I respect is the reinvention: he didn't sulk into retirement, he went to NASCAR and then absolutely dominated rallycross, stacking up titles. Speed is a reminder that a racing career isn't one ladder but several, and the best drivers find a rung that fits.

Overview

Scott Speed (born January 24, 1983, in Manteca, California) is an American racing driver who competed in Formula One for Scuderia Toro Rosso in 2006 and 2007, becoming one of the few Americans to race in the series during that era.
