Profile
Alex Wurz was tipped for big things when he joined Benetton in 1997, but a decline in the team's form meant he never fulfilled his potential. He was taken on as a McLaren reserve driver from 2001 to 2005 but only raced once at Imola in 2005, when he scored a podium. He made a full return with Williams in 2007 but by the last race of the season he had made way for the Toyota-backed Kazuki Nakajima. His greatest achievement came at the 2009 Le Mans 24 Hours, which he won driving for Peugeot.
