Marcus Ericsson

Marcus Ericsson spent five seasons in Formula 1 in cars from the back of the field and later found in the United States the win that never came here. A Swede born in 1990, he made his debut in 2014 with Caterham and was the first Swedish driver in an F1 race since Stefan Johansson in 1991. The team went into administration before the end of the season and he never raced for it again.

In 2015 he moved to Sauber, where he stayed for four years. In his first race with the team, in Australia, he finished eighth, and he ended the season with nine points. The next two were blank, in a Sauber that ran at the back of the grid.

In 2018, with Charles Leclerc as his team-mate, he scored nine points again, spread across six races, and in Brazil he started sixth, the best grid position of his career. For 2019 the team chose Kimi Räikkönen and Antonio Giovinazzi, and Ericsson left for IndyCar.

There he won the Indianapolis 500 in 2022. In F1 he stopped at eighteen points in five seasons.
