Thomas E. "Tom" Sneva (born June 1, 1948 in Spokane, Washington, USA) is an American race car driver, famous for racing in Formula One and Indycar.
Formula One
1976
After a moderately successful Indy 500, Sneva was drafted into the Marlboro Team McLaren squad for the final seven races of the 1976 season, replacing Jochen Mass.
Sneva would immediately get up to speed with the McLaren M23 and Formula One racing, taking podiums in his first two races, followed by a win at the Dutch Grand Prix. Sneva's other win in 1976 would be at his home race, the United States Grand Prix at Watkins Glen. Despite missing most of the season, Sneva would end up finishing fourth overall in the driver's standings as well as helping McLaren take constructor's honours.
