Alexander Wurz

Alexander Wurz is an Austrian racing driver, currently racing in Formula 1 CMP for the Benetton team.

1999
Driving an underwhelming Benetton car for his first year in the sport, Wurz ranked twelfth in the World Drivers' Championship, with two fifth-place finishes being his best results. The six points he collected doubled as the total amount of points Benetton scored throughout the season.

2000
Wurz was retained by Benetton for the 2000 season. Despite having the better of teammate Giancarlo Fisichella for much of the first half of the season, it was the Italian who took the team's maiden podium. Wurz did score points more often than Fisichella, however this usually was in the lower end of the points paying positions.

He finally scored his first podium in F1 CMP at the Hungarian Grand Prix, finishing 2nd behind the Ferrari of Rubens Barrichello. He scored another podium at the Italian Grand Prix en route to 6th in the final World Drivers' Championship standings.
