Vitantonio Liuzzi, also known as simply Tonio Liuzzi, was a great hope for Formula 1 when he started racing in the series at the Red Bull team in 2005. He had won the karting world championship and beaten Michael Schumacher at the same time, and then he won the Formula 3000 series with the record number of victories. He was supported by the Red Bull energy drink company. But in his first year he was forced to share the car with Austrian driver Christian Klien, then moved to Toro Rosso.
Liuzzi is one of the regular drivers at the Toro Rosso team.
