US driver Rossi says F1 race debut is 鈥榲ery surreal鈥
Print Edition
American driver Alexander Rossi is having a 鈥渧ery surreal鈥 time preparing for his Formula One race debut this weekend after signing a deal with the Manor team, becoming the first American to compete in the series since 2007.
Rossi will make his race debut at the Singapore Grand Prix on Sunday after having only received confirmation on Tuesday that he will replace Roberto Mehri for five of this season鈥檚 remaining seven races, including the US Grand Prix in Austin, Texas. 鈥淚 wasn鈥檛 expecting 2015 to be a year I was racing in F1,鈥 said Rossi, who has previously driven in practice sessions on race weekends for Manor and former team Caterham.
鈥淭he big thing I鈥檝e been missing for about three years in my F1 career is actually racing. I鈥檝e been close quite a few times, and it鈥檚 very surreal now that it鈥檚 about to happen.鈥
Rossi will also race in Japan, Mexico and Brazil while Mehri will retake the race seat in Russia and Abu Dhabi, because the Californian has commitments on those weekends in the feeder GP2 series.
