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

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.
