American driver Scott Speed will race for Andretti Autosport in Long Beach after an impressive debut race in Miami.

Speed finished in second place in his first outing after starting from 11th place on the grid.

Scott Speed managed his energy consumption well throughout the race, and his team put him in a great position to fight for a podium after nailing the pit stop minimum time.

The 32-year old put his extra battery life to good use, as he managed to pass his teammate Jean-Eric Vergne for fourth place, as well as passing both Audi Sport ABT cars to move up to second position in the race.

However, the American driver ran out of laps to overtake the leader of the race Nicolas Prost.

Speed will be hoping to be able to fight at the front of the grid again in another home race for himself and the team in Long Beach.
