"  Today was the first practice for the Spanish Grand Prix. And we won&amp;#039;t see it again in qualifying, but there on the timesheets were the words U.S.A. That&amp;#039;s right, Alexander Rossi, who races in the Formula Renault 3.5 Championship, is also a test driver for Caterham-Renault. The 21-year-old from Auburn, California has climbed through karting, the Skip Barber National Championship, Formula BMW, GP2, GP3 and now the Renault 3.5 series. &amp;quot;My goal to be in Formula 1 is one step closer after being signed as official test driver for the Caterham F1 Team and I want to thank them for their trust and long term commitment to my career once again. I have a clear goal for the practice session \u2013 make sure I run to the plan set by the engineers, not make any mistakes and learn as much as I can over the whole weekend as I take the next step in my career.\u2033 Best of luck to Rossi, and wouldn&amp;#039;t it be nice to see an American on the grid in F1 again?
