The Manor F1 Team announced on Wednesday that California-native Alexander Rossi would be racing in five of the seven remaining rounds in the 2015 Formula One World Championship.
Among those races is the United States Grand Prix at the Circuit of The Americas in Austin, Texas, meaning an American will get to race on American soil for the first time Scott Speed drove for Toro Rosso at the 2007 race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Many passionate F1 fans from the United States have taken to social media in order to express their jubilation about Rossi finally landing a ride.
None more so, however, than the runner of the official Circuit of The Americas Twitter account:
