The following season he would go on to secure his first points in F1 by finishing 9th in Sepang,but unfortunately his career did not pan out the way he wanted, as he was dropped by his team at the end of 2011 and is now set to race in Formula E for Virgin Racing.
#2 Sebastian Vettel
Position: EighthRace: 2007 United States Grand PrixAge: 19 years, 354 days
The four time world champion needs no introduction.It was always evident that he had great potential. Even though he made his name in F1 with Toro Rosso and later Redbull, it was at BMW Sauber where he earned his first points in his First race at the US Grand Prix in 2007. Vettel was handed his Grand Prix debut in Indianapolis following the serious crash of regular BMW driver Kubica at the Canadian Grand Prix. He qualified at 7th posistion on the grid and went on to secure a Eighth place finish on Race Day and rest as they say is history, with Vettel going on to win 4 consecutive World Championships from 2010-2013.
#1 Daniil Kvyatt
Position: NinthRace: 2014 Australian Grand PrixAge: 19 years, 329 days
The proud owner of this record is Daniel Kvyatt who finished 9th in his debut race at the Australian Grand Prix earlier this year. Daniil Kvyatt was promoted to Red Bull’s junior team,Toro Rosso in October 2013 and he proved his worth by winning the GP3 series later that year. His achievement is commendable considering that pre-season testing has been severely reduced over the past 5 years.
