‘I was a super cocky, arrogant kid’. Fast by name, fast by
nature. Scott Speed was born to be a racer. He had natural talent
and raw pace. But he didn’t need telling. After being discovered
by Red Bull as America’s next star, Speed arrived in Formula 1
with a ‘massive ego’. Debuting for Scuderia Toro Rosso in 2006,
he lasted just 18 months. With no World Championship points to
his name, Speed was replaced by Sebastian Vettel after the 2007
European Grand Prix. Rallycross is the epicentre of his most
notable achievements since then – he’s a four-time champion and
three-time X-Games gold medallist – but Speed has also raced in
NASCAR and IndyCar among other competitions. Speaking to Tom
Clarkson, Scott relives an exciting journey into motorsport that
begins with his father’s infectious passion for racing. He
explains very openly how a bad attitude, a lack of motivation,
and a struggle to adapt to life in Europe cost him more time in
Formula 1. Plus, Scott reveals how he’s helping today’s
generation of drivers avoid the same mistakes he made.
