 FORMULA ONE JAIME ALGUERSUARI PROFILE
Picture

Jaime Alguersuari Born: 23.03.90
Birthplace: Barcelona, Spain
Team: Scuderia Toro Rosso
2009 Car Number: 12
Last Season: n/a

Nineteen-year-old Jaime Alguersuari becomes the youngest-ever driver to compete in Formula One after replacing Sebasiten Bourdais mid-season at Toro Rosso.

The Spaniard's motor racing career began in the usual karting arena before he moved on to single-seaters, finishing third in the Formula Junior 1600 Italy. The following season he won the Italian Formula Renault 2.0 Winter series, taking the step up to Formula Renault in 2007, achieving second place overall in the standings.

But it was in 2008 when Jaime really hit the headlines in the motorsport fraternity, claiming the British Formula Three crown when he snatched the title from the grasps of Carlin team-mates Oliver Turvey and Brendan Hartley in the final round of the championship at Donington Park.

His impressive performances saw him move into the World Series by Renault, continuing with his British Formula Three Championship-winning team, Carlin Motorsport.

He also took on the role of reserve driver for Red Bull Racing and Scuderia Toro Rosso from fellow Red Bull Junior driver Hartley in the second half of the 2009 Formula One season, which put him in the driver's seat when Toro Rosso axed Bourdais.

Jaime was immediately called up to replace the Frenchman and makes his F1 debut in Hungary, where he'll immediately enter the record books as the youngest-ever F1 driver at the age of 19 years and 125 days.
