Steve Robertson (born 4 July 1964) is a former racing driver from Hackney, England. After spending three years in British Formula Three (which included a 3rd place championship finish in 1990) and competing in a full season of International Formula 3000 in 1992 in which he failed to score points, he won the 1993 Indy Lights Rookie of the Year award.〔Toomey, Toni. (Motor Racing: Robertson determined to graduate: The Indy Lights series may prove a fast track to the elite for a British Rookie of the Year ), ''The Independent'', 3 August 1994, Retrieved 2011-05-19〕 This was followed by the 1994 Indy Lights championship (both with Tasman Motorsports). He captured 7 wins during his 2 years in the series. He is one of only two Indy Lights champions to never race in Champ Car, the other being 1996 champion David Empringham. He later raced in the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) in 1996, in a works Ford Mondeo. However, the car was not competitive and he finished 16th in the championship with only two points.〔(Steve Robertson ), ''BTCC Pages'', Retrieved 2011-05-19〕 In the first race of the season at Donington Park, he spun in front of his team-mate Paul Radisich, and Radisich was unable to avoid colliding with him.〔(BTCC: Donington report ), 8 April 1996, ''Motorsport.com'', Retrieved 2011-05-19〕 After racing, Robertson went on, along with his father Dave, to manage young drivers. After leading Jenson Button to Formula One, the pair took on Kimi Räikkönen. Räikkönen would later make a big jump, from Formula Renault in the UK through to F1 with the Sauber team, the following year. Robertson continued to manage Räikkönen throughout his career.〔(F1 : Manager Steve Robertson denies Kimi Raikkonen set to quit motor racing ), 7 January 2011, ''F1SA'', Retrieved 2011-05-19〕 In November 2004, Räikkönen and Robertson formed a racing team for the British F3 International Series (as it is now called), Räikkönen Robertson Racing. In their second season (2006), "Double R" won the main Championship Class, with Brit Mike Conway. ==Racing record== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Steve Robertson (racing driver)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
