Born on 7 February 1983 in Hohenems, Austria, Christian Klien had his first
successes in karting in 1996. He moved to single seaters in 1998 in the
Formula BMW Junior championship.

The following year he finished fourth in the same championship, winning four
races. Later on he moved to the Formula Renault championship and became the
German champion in that category in 2002.

Klien climbed to the F3 Euro Series in 2003 and won four races, taking six
pole positions and nine podium finishes as well, which was enough to get a
second position in the championship and to attract enough attention to obtain
his biggest promotion for 2004: a place as a regular driver in Formula One at
Jaguar.

With the blessing of Jaguar sponsor Red Bull, Klien enjoyed a solid first
season in Formula One, scoring a solid sixth position at Spa Francorchamps.
Jumping straight from F3 was always going make the season a bit of a learning
year, but with the odd exception the young Austrian put in competitive drives
but was not able to match the pace of his more experienced team-mate Mark
Webber in qualifying trim.

With Jaguar Racing being taken over Red Bull Racing for the 2005 season,
Klien is hoping for a second chance to prove he has what it takes to race
with the best.
