Forty-Eight Years On, an American Formula 1 Win Is Back Within Reach

· 1 min read

No driver from the United States has won a Formula 1 Grand Prix in 48 years. That is nearly half a century of American enthusiasts following the sport's top tier while cheering for drivers from other countries. Road & Track now argues that the long wait is close to ending and that a homegrown winner is no longer a distant hope. For readers who care about American names on great machines, from the garage to the auction block, the next American win would be worth seeing.

With reporting from Road & Track.
