Speed returns to the USA
13 August 2007
Scott Speed will most likely continue his racing career in the United States. The American lost his seat to Sebastian Vettel last month and said he is now looking at the various options in American racing series to continue his racing career at home.
Even though Scuderia Toro Rosso might not wanted to keep Scott Speed as their driver in Formula 1, Red Bull might continue to support Speed's career. "I have had a great meeting with (Red Bull founder) Dietrich Matescihtz, who became very excited about the possibility of my racing back in the USA. We'll have to see where it leads," Speed said.
"I am coming back to American on a fact-finding tour, looking at the various racing series, and talking with some of the top American teams. Initial interest has been positive, so I look forward to having some productive chats and finding the right fit for me."
For Speed's racing career it might be a step back, but he is happy to return home. "I am jazzed about the thought of racing back home. I can't wait to see my family and friends in the USA, and to see where I'm most welcome and have the best opportunity for racing, and winning in front of my home crowds."

Spyker considering F1 team sale
14 August 2007
Spyker Cars is considering selling some or all of its Formula One team as part of a strategic review to refinance the entire organisation, the Dutch sports car company revealed this evening.
Spyker Cars has received much negative publicity about the state of its finances in recent months and in a statement said it has been forced to source additional funds to secure its position and continue investments.
"Of the various refinancing scenarios being considered, the (partial) sale of the Formula One team is one possibility," Spyker Cars said in a statement.
Spyker's F1 director Michiel Mol is known to be considering buying the team and would therefore step down from his position as CEO and director to prevent a conflict of interest.
The refinancing is expected to be completed by the end of September.
Why is Super Aguri selling their team? They are doing so well this year, well by their standards anyway
^ Also Super Aguri saw the Honda they are getting next year (OH STOP IT!!)
Spyker, well no suprise there. Hope someone decent like EJ buys it back. Super Aguri, well if a Spaniard buys them, then would we see Alonso head there soon??
