Formula One (F1) is one of the most dangerous sports in the world. You need to be physically fit and very instinctive, as the decision-making timing in the race is less than 0 seconds. Most F1 teams sign young drivers because, just like in any other sport, it was seen that young players have better reflexes.
Many young talents who debuted at a very young age in the F1 had already put themselves in the hall of fame, but for them, it was just a lucky break, as they were not able to keep up their potential in the high-intensity Formula One competition.
Here, we will list down the Top 10 youngest drivers to start in the race alongside their results in their debut race and the Racing Team with whom they competed in their first race.
