Alguersuari, who spent two years in F1, shocked the racing world when he decided to leave the track behind and embrace his passion for music.

At the young age of 19 years and 125 days, Alguersuari made his F1 debut for Toro Rosso at the 2009 Hungarian Grand Prix, setting a record as the youngest ever F1 driver at the time. Although Max Verstappen now holds that record, Alguersuari's achievement remains memorable.

After leaving F1, Alguersuari participated in Formula E and karting before ultimately retiring from motorsport in 2015.

However, even while still on the track, Alguersuari had begun pursuing his music career and eventually adopted the identity of DJ Squire.

Music and Success

Alguersuari's debut album, "Organic Life," was released in 2011 and quickly soared to the top of the iTunes charts within days of its release.

With his own music studio in Barcelona, DJ Squire has performed around the world, captivating audiences with his unique blend of jazz, techno, and house music influences. His shows have taken him to renowned destinations such as Ibiza, Berlin, and New York.

The Future of DJ Squire

Now at the age of 33, Alguersuari has made sporadic returns to karting in recent years. However, his true passion lies in music, and he continues to establish himself as a prominent figure in the music scene.

In 2014, he even made his acting debut in a small-budget short film, showcasing his diverse talents.
