The ever-charming Liuzzi broke through in 2005 when he was promoted from test to race driver at Red Bull midway through the season, having joined them as reigning F3000 champion.
At the end of the year he was handed a permanent race seat by RBR thanks to the team's decision to purchase rival outfit, Minardi, with the aim of running it as a junior team named Scuderia Toro Rosso.
And the Italian made the most of his break, scoring Toro Rosso's only points-finish of the season with his eighth-placed finish at the United States Grand Prix.
He ought to outshine team-mate Speed and could well make the points places more than once if he can keep the car on the road.
