JAIME ALGUERSUARIĪlguersuari was thrown into F1 action with no testing in the middle of 2009 as a 19-year-old, which was a tough ask.īut he was also a driver of prodigious potential, which started to show through in his first full season in 2010.
He later drove for Force India and HRT before fading out of grand prix racing. VITANTONIO LIUZZIĪfter initially graduating to F1 in what was intended to be a ride-share with Klien at Red Bull in 2005, Liuzzi made only four starts that season before being sidelined.īut he had a full-time drive with the newly-rebranded Toro Rosso in 2006 and did a good job in his two seasons, outperforming Speed over the first 18 months then faring decently against newcomer Vettel before being dropped to make room for Bourdais. His seat was given to Doornbos for the final three races of 2006. But despite showing promise at times he was never able to deliver consistently and couldn’t match team leader David Coulthard. The Austrian had his moments, with a best result of fifth in China in 2005. Initially, the idea was for him to share the 2005 seat with Vitantonio Liuzzi, but after splitting the first four weekends Red Bull gave it to Klien on a permanent basis. While Red Bull effectively inherited Klien from Jaguar, its sponsorship had facilitated his place at the team in the first place. And he took an increasingly dim view of Red Bull/Toro Rosso’s approach too.īy the end of the year was completely at odds with the team over on-track matters and off-track ones, so it was no surprise to discover he would be replaced for 2019. And it was a fun story.īut he tended to find ways not to thread complete weekends together and he lacked a bit of overall pace compared to his fellow rookie Pierre Gasly. To be fair to Hartley, he did well in the circumstances.

Speed was one of a quartet of American drivers who won the inaugural Red Bull driver search in 2002, but health problems set him back in 2003 and he had to rebuild his career in the Formula Renault Eurocup before moving up to GP2 in 2005. He was given a three-race stint at the end of 2006 in place of the axed Christian Klien, qualifying strongly for his debut in China and finishing all three races.īut despite the promise shown, there wasn’t space for him in any of Red Bull’s four race seats the following season and he headed off to Champ Car. ROBERT DOORNBOSĭoornbos had raced for Christian Horner’s Arden team in F3000 with Red Bull support in 2005.Īfter stints as a test driver for Jordan and Minardi (graduating to a race seat with the latter in the second half of 2005) he became Red Bull’s Friday driver for the following season.
In the wake of Red Bull’s latest driver switch, signing Sergio Perez to replace Alex Albon, and the arrival of another exciting protege in Yuki Tsunoda, our F1 journalists Edd Straw and Scott Mitchell rank all 18 drivers to have raced in F1 for its teams so far.Īs usual with our ranking of all a team’s drivers, this is about what they did for that team (or in many cases here teams plural) rather than their outright potential or achievements in their whole F1 career.
Some didn’t last long others became team legends.
