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.
