American Formula One Drivers
There have been many Formula One drivers from the United States including two World Drivers' Championship winners, Mario Andretti and Phil Hill. Andretti is the most successful American Formula One driver having won 12 races, and only Eddie Cheever has started more grands prix. While many drivers from the Unites States have competed in Formula One, many of them are no longer counted in the sports statistics because they only competed in the Indianapolis 500, which was at the time seen as part of the World Championship but rarely included any other Formula One drivers. There have been no American drivers in the sport since Scott Speed left in 2007.

Famous quotes containing the words american and/or formula:
“The American adolescent, then, is faced, as are the adolescents of all countries who have entered or are entering the machine age, with the question: freedom from what and at what price? The American feels so rich in his opportunities for free expression that he often no longer knows what it is he is free from. Neither does he know where he is not free; he does not recognize his native autocrats when he sees them.”
—Erik H. Erikson (1904–1994)
“I take it that what all men are really after is some form or perhaps only some formula of peace.”
—Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)
