Growing up in Northern California, a young Alexander Rossi
dreamed of racing in Formula 1. His route was not an easy one.
Along the way he experienced false starts, unfulfilled promises,
behind the scenes power moves and the tragic loss of his friend
and teammate Jules Bianchi. Alex tells Tom Clarkson everything
that led to his 5 Grands Prix in 2015 and just how close he was
to staying in the sport for a longer time. Today, Alex is pushing
to add the IndyCar Championship to his Indy 500 win,
supported by team boss Michael Andretti, and challenged by
teammate Colton Herta. Alex also has tales of racing at Indy with
Fernando Alonso, and competing in Mexico’s extreme truck race,
the Baja 1000.
