Scott Speed was reportedly involved in a physical altercation with Scuderia Toro Rosso boss Franz Tost after the European GP, we can reveal. The incident must cast doubts over his short-term future with the team.
Speed was one of several drivers to spin off at the start of the third lap when confronted by a wall of water at the first corner. He was soon joined in the gravel by teammate Tonio Liuzzi, who came out of the pits after stopping for extreme wet tires and suffered an apparent technical failure that was probably related to a nudge from behind on the first lap. He narrowly missed the safety car, and struck a recovery vehicle.
Having lost both cars in the first five minutes, tensions were apparently running high when Speed returned to the team garage from the scene of the accident. After an initial discussion with Tost, Speed had reportedly turned to walk away when Tost apparently made a grab for him, in what one witness described as an “assault.”
