Nelson Piquet Jr – 2014
BMW Sports Trophy Team Brasil
-
With motor racing in his blood, it’s no surprise that Nelson Piquet has continued the family tradition. Having started his career in South American karting, he soon switched to car racing with immediate success in South American F3.
A move to Europe followed where he took top honours in the British F3 Championship in 2004.
The Brazilian graduated to GP2 in 2005, finishing as runner-up in the series in 2006 after a season-long battle with Lewis Hamilton. He graduated to a race seat in F1 for 2008 alongside Fernando Alonso where his performances, including a second place podium in the German GP, helped the team secure fourth position in the constructors’ championship. He continued with the team into 2009. From 2010 Nelson began to pursue a career in the USA, where he became the first Brazilian to win races in NASCAR. -
