Jaime Víctor Alguersuari Escudero[1] (Spanish: [ˈxajme alɣeɾˈswaɾi]; born 23 March 1990), also known as Jaume Alguersuari (Catalan: [ˈʒawmə əlɣəɾsuˈaɾi]),[2][3] and Squire[4] is a Spanish DJ and retired racing driver best known for competing in Formula One between 2009 and 2011,[5] and for being the 2008 British Formula 3 champion.[6][7] He is the son of Jaime Alguersuari, Sr., a former motorcyclist and racing driver.

Alguersuari became the youngest Formula One driver to start a Grand Prix in history at the 2009 Hungarian Grand Prix – at the age of 19 years, 125 days[8] – and in the process, became the first driver to be born in the 1990s to compete in Formula One.[9] This record was broken by Max Verstappen in 2015 who competed at just 17 years of age. After losing his drive with the Toro Rosso team in late 2011,[10] Alguersuari joined British radio station BBC Radio 5 Live to be their expert summariser for the 2012 Formula One season, alongside lead commentator James Allen.[11] At the age of 25, Alguersuari officially retired from motorsport to concentrate on his DJ career.[12]
