I thought that was the objective of that Red Bull driver search a couple of years ago here in the US, was to find and groom an up-&-coming young American driver to get a seat in Formula 1. This year's Red Bull team appears to be David Coulthard and someone else (not an American). Will we see an American driver on that team next season?

Scott Speed looks to be the most likely to be the next American in F1, assuming he performs in GP2 as well as he did in Formula Renault.

the latest Red Bull winner 13yo John Edwards from Arkasas, both skipbarber kids. WE also run the middle part of the shootout for Red Bull every year in Sebring. Starts off with about 30 kids in our Formula Dodges and end up with 2 - 6 winners that go to Europe for the finals in F3 cars. Edwards was the 1 winner from that this year. First year there were 6 finalists, last year 4, this year 1 final winner.

It was at Road Atlanta, last year. He's quick, but my concern about him is that he's so young and small that I really don't think he's physically storng enough to drive the higher grip cars to their limit. He will need more training and to get stronger to be able to handle the faster cars, but if anyone his age can do it, it's him.

Danny Sullivan went back to retirement at the end of this year's racing season (driving for Barron-Conner Ferrari) to focus back into the Red Bull program.

What if he end up growing taller then Justin Wilson??

I'd think there are enough kids in their 17-18s thats got a lot more under their belt and is more sure of what they want to do with the rest of their life.

cars pretty hard, and they got more grip than Atlantics. RB really wanted him for his age just because of the reason Nogaro said there are tons of 17-18yo with good experience.. a dime a dozen..they wanna try a different way, get an even younger driver in the program and hopefully he'll be the ONE. Especiaaly if Scott Speed doesn't do as good from here on after the way he tore every1 up in FR.

a mechanic for Skip since like '00. Now I've been instrubcting the past couple years. Raced in the southern series 02-03, finished 5th point after only doing 10 outa 14 races. Have done some Eastern rounds and back in Nov. won some Skippy dollars in the Regional runnoff chamionship at Laguna. Probally do a couple nationals this year. Really tryin to get in a Speed or Grand-am car. I've done some testing in a couple Grand-am cars, they just still want some money, and I'm tryin to hold out till I get my rides solely on merit,... or at least some1 elses money.. and yes I know the team juicy guys, Matt Frank got hosed at the REg. runoff cause some1 crashed his car b4 last race and not enough time to get it handling the same again as the sun was goin down and he didn't wna trade cars for the money race, at first he didn't think it was so bad. Last lap ill-handling locking up 1wheel Adam Tran passed him in corkscrew for 1st place money. And by now the sun was down, racing in the dark at Laguna..it was fun man.
Always cool to see another Skippy guy Jon..

him Nogaro. Because thy're starting with a clean slate.. train him they way THEY want..

Red Bull's pet?

at the end Scott Speed says, 'look for me in F1 in 2006'. so that's his plan, let's see if he does it.

You gonna be in Sebring in Feb?
