Timeline
That same year, he was crowned Formula Ford 1800 champion in both Netherlands and Belgium.
He also participated in the Renault Megane Marlboro Masters series.
Christijan Albers (born 16 April 1979) is a Dutch former professional racing driver.
Christijan was born in Eindhoven, the son of former rallycross ace and Porsche 911 Carrera campaigner André Albers, who won the 1979 Dutch International Rallycross Championship (GT Division).
They are not related to their compatriot Marcel Albers, who was killed in a British Formula Three accident at Thruxton in 1992.
Albers is married to Liselore Kooijman.
Albers began kart racing at a young age, winning the Dutch National championship in 1997.
In 1998, he moved up to the German Formula Three series, winning the championship in 1999 with six wins and ten poles.
In 2000, Albers raced in the International Formula 3000 championship as team-mate to Mark Webber.
He failed to score a point, but team boss Paul Stoddart later signed him again.
He also raced in European Formula Racing.
Beginning in 2001, Albers raced in the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters for Mercedes-Benz, and graduated from a privately run team to the works AMG outfit in 2003 after the departure from the series of Uwe Alzen.
He was instantly a front-runner, finishing runner-up in 2003 with a season-high four wins, and challenging DTM veteran and multiple champion Bernd Schneider for the title all the way up to the final race.
In 2004 he again challenged for the championship lead for the most of the season but eventually finished third.
While racing in the DTM, Albers continued to be a test and reserve driver for Minardi's Formula One interests, and also drove the team's two-seater Formula One cars.
In November 2004, he set the fastest time at a Misano di Gera d'Adda Minardi test session.
He was chosen by the team to drive in the Formula One World Championship in 2005.
At the 2005 United States Grand Prix he gained his first championship points with a fifth-place finish, a race where only six drivers started.
On 31 October 2005 Albers was confirmed as Midland's first official Formula One driver.
Their wedding took place on 11 November 2006 in Amsterdam.
Midland, the renamed Jordan team, made their debut in the 2006 Formula One season.
Albers started the 2006 season well, out-pacing Midland teammate Tiago Monteiro.
However, during the first few races, Midland found themselves battling with the Super Aguri team, particularly Takuma Sato.
At the 2006 San Marino Grand Prix, Albers found himself being crashed into by Yuji Ide and sent into a series of spectacular rolls.
Incredibly he was unharmed.
Ide was reprimanded by the race stewards.
Ide also had his Super Licence revoked for severe dangerous driving.
After success in the DTM he drove in Formula One from until the 2007 British Grand Prix, shortly after which he was dropped by the Spyker F1 team.
After initial confusion over Albers's plans for 2007 after the takeover of MF1 by Spyker Cars, it was eventually confirmed that he would be driving for the Spyker F1 team in 2007.
It was later found out that Albers signed a contract with Midland F1 to remain with the team prior to the sale to Spyker.
Albers's personal sponsors had major influences in Spyker buying the Midland F1 team.
In early 2007 he was outperformed by rookie team-mate Adrian Sutil.
At Magny-Cours he ignored the lollipop telling him not to leave the pits during a pitstop, driving off with part of the fuel rig still attached.
Albers expressed relief that nobody was hurt, but he received a €5,000 penalty for dangerous driving.
Spyker technical director Mike Gascoyne commented that he was mystified by the mistake.
On 10 July 2007 he was released from his Spyker contract, due to a lack of sponsorship money, which would have compromised the team's development programme.
In 2008, he returned to the DTM series as a driver for the Audi Futurecom TME team.
Albers acted as Team Principal and CEO of the Caterham F1 Team from July to September 2014 after it was acquired by new team owners.
His estimated net-worth is $50 million
