A memorable debut in Australia

40

Felipe Nasr celebrates his birthday today, and will look back on his year and a half in F1 so far with mixed emotions. The Brazilian burst onto the scene with his hugely impressive fifth place on debut at the Australian Grand Prix, holding off Daniel Ricciardo's Red Bull. Financial concerns have made it difficult for Sauber to repeat that performance since, but a recent takeover makes the future brighter for the team.
