Cristiano da Matta

Cristiano da Matta, a Brazilian driver born in 1973, spent two seasons in Formula 1 with Toyota, making 28 starts across 2003 and 2004. He arrived in the championship relatively late, making his debut at 29.

His rookie season was his stronger one: ten points in 2003 placed him thirteenth in the World Championship, a solid showing for the still-young Toyota operation. The 2004 campaign proved harder going, yielding three points and seventeenth in the standings before his Formula 1 career came to a close.

Da Matta's record stands at 13 points from 28 starts, all with a single constructor — a brief, two-year chapter in which he scored in both of his seasons but never threatened the podium.
