  • Simona De Silvestro – Test and Development Driver Simona De Silvestro Developed a Passion for Motor Racing at an Early Age
    newsroom Motorsports Sep 18, 2021 Simona De Silvestro – Test and development driver Simona De Silvestro developed a passion for motor racing at an early age. Later on, she passed through many different series in professional motor sports. The Swiss-born driver began her career in karting before moving to America at the age of 18. As a teenager her great passion was car races. She abstained from many things and worked hard to live out her dream. The Swiss national wasn’t quite 18 when, after initial single-seater successes in Europe, she was drawn to the USA. Through Formula BMW and Formula Toyota Atlantic she ended up in the IndyCar Series. She was crowned ‘Rookie of the Year’ at the legendary Indy 500 in 2010. And she earned even greater recognition among drivers and fans a year later when, the day after a serious accident in the practice session, despite burns on both hands, she got into the car and qualified at Indianapolis. After this courageous performance the Americans, who had previously only ever seen her as the nice ‘Swiss Miss’, gave her a new nickname: ‘Iron Maiden’. She wasn’t a fan of the music by the heavy metal band of the same name back then, but she can identify with the attitude the name expresses. She is hard on herself, but not stubborn. A confident young woman. Word quickly spread in the industry that she also gets the performances on the track, so Sauber added her to their Formula 1 squad in 2014, in the 2015/2016 season she drove for Andretti in Formula E, then she contested the Australian Supercars Championship.

  • Simona De Silvestro January 9, 1988 - Present Nationality: Swiss and Italian Raced: 1998 - Present
    Simona de Silvestro January 9, 1988 - Present Nationality: Swiss and Italian Raced: 1998 - Present Background: Simona de Silvestro was born in Thun, Switzerland in 1988. Her interest in motor sports began early in her life and by age ten she was already racing competitively. She participated in the Western Switzerland Championship in 1998, 1999, and 2000, and spent her next few years kart-racing throughout Europe and competing in the Italian Formula Renault 2000 series. De Silvestro moved to the United States in 2006 to pursue her racing career and she made history that year by becoming the first woman to earn a podium result at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Walker Racing signed her to their team in November 2006, and in April 2007 she began her rookie year racing in the Atlantic Championship, America's top open-wheel driver development series. She joined Newman Wachs Racing in 2008, and earned her first victory in the series. De Silvestro spent the 2009 season racing with Team Stargate Worlds. With four wins, she was point leader throughout much of the year and came very close to winning the Atlantic Championship title. She was knocked out of the running on October 11th after her car tangled with Markus Niemela’s at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. Had she won the title, she would have become the first woman to do so in the Atlantic Championship’s 36-year history. Early Influences: De Silvestro has always had the desire to race. Her passion for the sport can be attributed to her father’s love of it.

  • Press Release 12 May 2020
    Press Release 12 May 2020 Background story Simona de Silvestro World tour of the “Iron Maiden” ends at home Stuttgart. The Indianapolis racing oval; 19 May, 2011: After some rainy days, the track finally begins to dry and 40 drivers get ready to tackle the 95th running of the Indy 500. This prestigious race is one of the world’s greatest motor racing challenges on a par with the Monaco Grand Prix and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. It’s 12.25 pm, just past noon. Simona de Silvestro heads into the sixth lap in her green and white Dallara. Suddenly, the suspension breaks, the car crashes into the wall, catapults head over tail into the infield and bursts into flames. “That’s the day the Americans gave me the wonderful nickname,” jokes Porsche works driver de Silvestro. “Despite suffering burns on both hands, I got straight back into the car the next day and managed to qualify. Since then, they call me Iron Maiden and dropped the Swiss Miss moniker. I like that.” Simona de Silvestro is a racer with a powerful profile. For more than 15 years now, the 31-year-old Swiss has stood her ground in the male-dominated motor racing scene. In the paddocks of the world, her open and humorous nature has made her extremely popular. And her motor racing prowess has earned her respect. “When they began calling me Swiss Miss in the USA I didn’t like it at all. The nickname is hackneyed and overdone. Many sportswomen from Switzerland are given this name – tennis player Martina Hingis and others were called Swiss Miss, too.

  • Spotter Guide
    FAST FACT If you traveled at race speed across the Sunshine Skyway Bridge spanning Tampa Bay, your right rear Firestone race tire would rotate nearly 3,000 times during the drive. That’s roughly 18 revolutions per second! Ryan Hunter-Reay streaks by the Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum during preseason testing of the new Honda and Chevy aero kits at Barber Motorsports Park, where the series will make another stop in late April for the Honda Indy Grand Prix of Alabama. Chris Owens/IMS Photo WHAT TO WATCH FOR THIS WEEKEND: AERO KITS MAKE RACE DEBUT AT ST. PETE: This weekend’s Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg marks the competition debut of the new aerodynamic bodywork kits designed, manufactured and supplied by Chevrolet and Honda for the Dallara IR-12 chassis. Chevrolet’s cars (right) seemed to have a slight advantage in testing, but which manufacturer will be the one to earn a spot in Victory Lane on the Streets of St. Pete? SIMONA RETURNS TO SERIES: Fan favorite Simona de Silvestro, who made 65 starts over four Verizon IndyCar Series seasons, returns to the series in an Andretti Autosport Honda after a year-long absence to pursue a career in Formula One. Simona put in an exciting performance in her last race at St. Pete in 2013, running third late in the race and chasing the leaders until worn tires relegated her to a sixth-place finish. ROOKIE STRIPES: Five drivers will make their first start at St. Petersburg: Sunoco Rookie of the Year Award candidates Stefano Coletti, Sage Karam, Francesco Dracone and Gabby Chaves, and CFH Racing’s Luca Filippi, who has eight Verizon IndyCar Series starts to his credit.

    Katherine Legge July 12, 1980 – Present Nationality: British Raced: 2000 - Present Background: Katherine Anne Legge was born in Guildford, Surrey, United Kingdom in 1980. She started racing for fun when she young and it was a passion that continued to grow. After attending convent school, Legge decided not to go to college and instead chose to pursue a career in motor sports. She competed in many karting races in Europe throughout the 1990s. In 2000, she raced in the British Formula Ford Zetec Championship and became the first woman to ever win a pole position in the series. She had similar success in the British Formula Renault Championship in 2002, winning another pole position. Legge began working as a racing instructor in England during this time, trying to make money so that she could continue to compete. In 2003, she participated in the British Formula 3 Championship, and in 2004 she raced in both the British and the North American Formula Renault Championships. Legge’s breakthrough year came in 2005. After cornering Kevin Kalkhoven, CEO of JDS Uniphase Corporation and a partner of PKV Racing, she was given the chance to pursue her dreams. Kalkhoven agreed to let PKV sponsor her in the first ten races of the Toyota Atlantic Championship. Competing for Polestar Racing Group, Legge surprised everyone by winning the first race in the series at Long Beach, making her the first woman to win a major open-wheel race in North America. She earned two more victories during the year and finished third overall in the Championship.
