Career
Filipe Albuquerque began his career with karting in 1993, “At the beginning, karting was just fun for me, but faster and faster it became serious.” Albuquerque recalled: “It is very difficult to find a sponsor. Without the support of Red Bull, I would most likely continue to study at home, ”he added. [1] A young Portuguese rider won two national karting titles before moving to Spanish Formula 3 with the help of Red Bull. But later Albuquerque moved to Formula Renault. The Portuguese commented as follows: “since I was fired by Red Bull, I decided to go the 2-liter Formula Renault in Zolder .” [1] Albuquerque was the fastest pilot in the race and he was invited to the German series.
The Portuguese pilot finished the Spanish Formula 3 season in sixth place, fifth in Formula Renault's Eurocup and third in Formula Renault Germany, and he was also the best rookie in all three championships. [1] In 2006, Albuquerque took part in two championships in the Formula Renault European Cup and in the Northern European Formula Renault Cup and won championship titles in both championships.
