Biography
Jean-Eric Vergne first grid in Australia with the Toro Rosso STR7 (2012)
As with his Torro Rosso team mate Daniel Ricciardo, 2013 is a make or break season for Jean-Eric Vergne. The second of Red Bull’s junior drivers at Torro Rosso had a patchy season in 2012, and needs to improve should he be the man to finally replace Mark Webber at Red Bull.
There were high hopes for the Frenchman last season with many predicting great things, yet disappointing qualifying form cost him badly. The 22 year-old showed enough in his race performances to warrant a second crack, but despite finishing ahead of Ricciardo on points it was the Australian who largely outshone Vergne.
Vergne has an excellent junior record, with championship successes in French Renault Campus, Formula Renault and British Formula Three and in 2012 he earned his big break at the expense of Sebastian Buemi in the Torro Rosso. Just four points finishes out of 20 races, all 8 th placed, have increased the pressure on Vergne and he need look no further than to who he replaced to see that solid isn’t spectacular in Formula One, and to succeed you need to be spectacular. Qualifying this season will be hugely important, but his main focus has to be on beating Ricciardo, and beating him well.
