Zsolt Baumgartner (born January 1, 1981 in Debrecen, Hungary) is a Hungarian racing driver, who competed in 2003 on a two-race basis, and 2004 for a full season. He was the first Hungarian to race in Formula One, making his debut, fittingly on home soil at the Hungaroring after Jordan driver Ralph Firman was declared unfit to race following his 180mph smash in practice. Baumgartner also replaced Firman for the Italian Grand Prix. After this, he was signed up by Minardi for 2004 for a full season of F1, and was partnered by Italian rookie Gianmaria Bruni.
