Who is the youngest F1 driver in 2016?

Whilst younger certainly isn’t better starting as young as 18 drivers are often at their peak performance levels after rigorous seasons battling through the junior categories.

It’s common to see young drivers enter the sport with major sponsorship backing with companies looking for brand ambassadors looking to appeal to the younger generation.

Whilst the financial backing and great physical fitness levels are in demand it usually takes several seasons before a driver can secure their place in Formula One.
