Jaime Víctor Alguersuari Escudero[1] (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈxaime alɣeɾˈswaɾi]; born March 23, 1990 in Barcelona), is a Spanish racing driver who became the youngest Formula One driver in history at the 2009 Hungarian Grand Prix. Alguersuari is the first, and currently the only, driver to be born in the 1990s to compete in Formula One.[2]

Career

Early years

Alguersuari began his formula racing career in 2005. In 2006, he won the Italian Formula Renault Winter Series, before finishing as runner-up to Mika Mäki in the main championship the following year.

Formula Three

Alguersuari driving for Carlin Motorsport at the Croft round of the 2008 British Formula Three season.

He moved up to the British Formula Three Championship for 2008, driving for the Carlin Motorsport alongside team-mates Brendon Hartley, Oliver Turvey and Sam Abay. After a season-long battle between Alguersuari, Hartley, Turvey and Sergio Pérez, Alguersuari won the final three races of the season to clinch the championship.[3] He thus became the youngest title winner in championship history, aged 18 years and 203 days. He also deputised for the injured Mark Webber in the 2008 Race of Champions event at the Wembley Stadium in December 2008.[4]

Formula Renault 3.5 Series

He is competing in the Formula Renault 3.5 Series in 2009, continuing with the Carlin team and with Turvey once again as his team-mate.[5] At the time of his move to Formula One mid-season, he lay eighth in the championship with one podium finish, and was the second-highest rookie driver in the standings behind Turvey. Despite his promotion to an F1 race seat, he intends to carry on in FR3.5.[6] A week after his Formula One debut, Alguersuari returned to the series at the Autódromo Internacional do Algarve, and scored both his first pole,[7] and his first victory in the series.[8] His 27-point haul for the weekend moved him from eighth to third in the championship standings. Alguersuari eventually ended up sixth, dropping from third in the final race.

Formula One (2009 - present)

Scuderia Toro Rosso

2009

Alguersuari took over the role of reserve driver for the Red Bull Racing and Scuderia Toro Rosso Formula One teams from fellow Red Bull Junior driver Brendon Hartley in the second half of the 2009 Formula One season.[9] Less than two weeks later, race driver Sébastien Bourdais left the Toro Rosso team after the 2009 German Grand Prix and Alguersuari was immediately suspected to be his successor, despite the lack of an official confirmation.[10][11] Four days later, Toro Rosso announced that Alguersuari would drive for the team at the 2009 Hungarian Grand Prix.[12] He became the youngest ever Formula One driver at the age of 19 years and 125 days, breaking the record previously held by Mike Thackwell. He became only the seventh teenager to start a Grand Prix.[13] Qualifying in last place following a mechanical problem, he finished the race in fifteenth, one place ahead of his teammate Sébastien Buemi. Through the rest of the season, he had little success, with his best result coming at the 2009 Brazilian Grand Prix, where he managed 14th place. At the remaining 8 races, he only finished 3 of them and retired in the other 5.

2010

Toro Rosso has retained Alguersuari for the 2010 season.[14]
