David Hobbs is one of the most versatile drivers in the history of motorsports. Name a big race and Hobbs has run in it. Today, he brings that expertise to the SPEED channel as the network's Formula 1 color commentator.
In his 30 years as a driver, Hobbs made 20 starts in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, four starts in the Indy 500 and raced for six different Formula One teams from 1967 to 1974. He also ran in the 1976 Daytona 500 and the 24 Hours of Daytona.
With talk about a Formula One race coming to the New York area, we caught up with Hobbs last week.
