Was shooting the Austin segment of the Red Bull Driver's Search on Saturday. This is a program trying to find the next American Formula One driver. We haven't had one since Michael Andretti, in one ill-fated season, which I believe was in 1984.

Very nice! I like the pre race shots where the drivers are focusing on the race ahead.

BTW I thought we had a US driver in the F1? I don't keep up with the racing but read something about him, younger mid 20's american, forgot which team.

Nope. :( At least, not a driver in the regular seat. Possibly as a test driver, or in the lower formulas.

Michael Andretti was in Formula One for one season, 1993. He drove for McLaren.
