One of the few drivers on the grid that was in the sport ten years earlier, and almost for the same team.

Kimi Raikkonen left Ferrari at the end of 2018, but he did the same after the 2009 season, where he'd go and rally for 2010 and '11.

His appearance has definitely aged a lot in this last decade, his 29-year-old image looking like an airbrushed version of his current self, aside from his hair which is much shorter these days.

Like Norris, apologies if that isn't a photo from 2009, images of Antonio Giovinazzi are hard to find from back then.

Ten years ago, 15-year-old Gio was still karting and would continue to do so until 2012. The Italian would then go onto race in China, an unusual route for a European driver.

After a brief F1 cameo in 2017, he returns to action at Sauber for 2019, after being a test driver for Ferrari in 2018.
