![]() 12) Sebastian Vettel – 19 years, 11 months, 14 days, 2007 United States Grand PrixĪt the time of his race debut, Vettel already held the record for being the youngest driver to take part in an F1 race weekend, having participated for BMW Sauber in free practice at the 2006 Turkish Grand Prix just 53 days after his 19th birthday.
