Ex-Red Bull star "wakes up crying" from Helmut Marko "trauma" but is "deeply thankful"

Jaime Alguersuari has worked with "several psychologists" to help him to deal with the "trauma" he feels from his time as part of the Red Bull driver development programme.

The Spaniard made his Formula 1 debut with the sister Toro Rosso team, at the time becoming the sport's youngest ever racer. His career lasted for two-and-a-half years, during which time he started 46 Grands Prix before being cut loose along with Sebastien Buemi at the end of the 2011 campaign.
