Biography

Esteban Gutierrez Biography

Another of 2013’s debutants, Esteban Gutierrez is relatively unknown in the world of formula one, and many believe his presence is down to a very large sponsorship deal from which he benefits. However, his fellow Mexican Sergio Perez was also unknown when he joined Sauber, so high things will be expected from Gutierrez as he tries to emulate his countrymen’s success for the Sauber team.

The 21 year old has only been racing in cars since 2007, but he has a chequered CV. He finished second in the 2007 BMW USA championship, before winning the European version in 2008. 2009 saw him race alongside fellow F1 debutants Valtteri Bottas and Jules Bianchi in the Formula Three Euroseries where he finished 9th in the championship.

A move to GP3 followed where he dominated the 2010 season and strolled to a comfortable championship victory, his second career championship. Lotus were quick to sign him for the 2011 GP2 series, where he finished a disappointing 13th in the drivers standings. After a far better 2012 GP2 series it was widely rumoured that Gutierrez would be named a Lotus driver for 2013 alongside Kimi Raikkonen following the struggles of Romain Grosjean. Lotus clearly felt he wasn’t ready.

However a move to Sauber will certainly be a benefit as he can learn away from the spot light and in a team with a proven track record of nurturing young talent, although he has a ruthless team mate in Nico Hulkenberg. The Mexican already has his critics and sceptics in the sport, and it is up to him to show that he does have the potential to go far. A good start is a necessity in a tight midfield battle and results will be paramount from the start. Finishing anywhere near Hulkenberg is perhaps the best he can hope for this season.
