Every teenager to have started an F1 grand prix

Who are the youngest drivers to ever start a Formula 1 grand prix after recent years have seen many teenagers get behind the wheel?

Oliver Bearman became one of the youngest drivers to start an F1 race when he made his debut at the 2024 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. 

The 18-year-old stepped in for Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz as he withdrew from the race weekend due to appendicitis.  

It meant Bearman became the 13th teenager to start an F1 grand prix, so who are the other 12 and how did they fare?
