There is a report at SPEEDTV.com by Robin Miller that Scott Speed, after a reported shouting and shoving match with team czar Franz Tost, has been given his pink slip. Miller points to an inside source for this; but also reports that Speed's father Mike says as far as he knows, Scott is testing in Italy next week. The article suggests that Sebastien Bourdais, who recently tested for Toro Rosso, will be in one of the Toro Rosso seats next year, and that an opportunity for Speed to come to Champ Car may happen, though Mike Speed said "We haven't discussed anything like that."

If anyone in Europe has heard anything about this, please reply to this post.
