Need for Speed
After apparent questions over his commitment, Scott Speed is determined to prove doubters wrong. Adam Cooper caught up with the driver and the men around him at Toro Rosso to find out why his contract renewal was so drawn out and why his integrity was controversially questioned
The last two Americans to try their hands at F1 - Danny Sullivan in 1983 and Michael Andretti a decade later - had one unfortunate statistic in common: both appeared for just that one season and subsequently were not seen again in Grand Prix racing.
For a while this winter, it looked as though Scott Speed might become another 'one hit wonder', but in the end he bucked the trend and duly appeared in Australia to start his second season for Scuderia Toro Rosso.
