Alexander Rossi becomes first American to Win in Formula Masters

By Mike Dalenberg

Alexander Rossi scored his first win in Europe with the International Formula Master victory in Brno, CZ and became the first Americcan to do so. I first met Alexander at Mid Ohio in 2008 when he dominated the field to win both races of the weekend by over 10 seconds and the largest in FBMW history. He came across as a very smart and talented 16 yr. old with determination to win, and that he has done. He proved that he belonged in FBMW as a top contender for the title and again he showed his talents by winning the FBMW World Finals. So, what was next for Alexander Rossi? He has since made his mark in the Formula Masters Series in Europe winning his first of I'm sure many International Formula Masters wins. What is in his future is still to come - but I see some F1 in the crystal ball. What is your thought?
