Jean-Éric Vergne

Jean-Éric Vergne, a French driver born in 1990, raced in Formula 1 from 2012 to 2014, making fifty-eight starts, all with Toro Rosso. He joined the team at twenty-one and scored points in each of his three seasons.

His rookie campaign brought sixteen points and seventeenth in the championship, followed by thirteen points in 2013. His final season proved his best: twenty-two points in 2014, good for thirteenth in the standings, the highest championship position of his career.

Vergne's fifty-one career points came without a podium, pole or fastest lap, a reflection of Toro Rosso's midfield standing during his tenure. His three seasons were spent entirely with the one team, and his year-on-year progression peaked just as his time in the championship came to an end.
