There have been two Formula One drivers from Thailand.[1][2][3]
Former drivers
The first Thai Formula One driver was Prince Bira who took part in 19 World Championship races between 1950 and 1954.[4] He scored 8 points and had a highest finishing position of fourth place which he achieved twice: at the 1950 Swiss Grand Prix and the 1954 French Grand Prix.[4][5] His highest finishing position at the end of a season was 8th in 1950.[4]
Alexander Albon is the second Formula One driver to race with a Thai licence and made his debut at the 2019 Australian Grand Prix for Toro Rosso, receiving a graduation to Red Bull ahead of the 2019 Belgian Grand Prix.[2][6][7] Albon achieved his, and Thailand's, first podium at the 2020 Tuscan Grand Prix.[8]
