F1 Ace Jaime Alguesuari Joins Team Party Poker
27th April, 2010
Party Poker has announced that Spanish F1 driver, Jaime Alguesuari has joined the Party Poker family of brands as an ambassador. He is joining fellow F1 diver Giancarlo Fisichella at the leading online poker site.
The 20 year old from Barcelona is the youngest F1 driver in history after taking part in the Hungarian Grand Prix in 2009. He has always had a passion for playing poker and will be taking part in exclusive tournaments and promotions at party poker as part of the deal.
“Some say that I am a novice in F1 and I would say the same about poker. I have loved the game from afar but with all my driving commitments, I have a lot to learn. I recently got my first points in F1 and am now about to secure my first PartyPoints at PartyPoker.com,” said Jaime.
He continued, “The popularity of poker in Spain is on the rise and I cannot wait to be part of it and improve my skills at the table by playing online. Poker is so popular amongst the F1 drivers at the moment, by becoming an ambassador for PartyPoker I aim to be the best of them all!”
There will be the opportunity for customers to meet the racing ace through special promotions in upcoming months. Just to whet your appetite a little, we can reveal that one promotion will offer tickets to the Valencia Grand Prix on June 27th where you will meet Jaime.
In addition to being the first driver in the elite sport to be born in the 90’s Jaime also has a passion for music and has a passion for being a DJ, so not only can he drive on a track he can spin one too!
“I doubt Lady Gaga’s ‘PokerFace’ is in my DJ set but I love poker as much as I do my music. I am planning on getting a new poker themed tattoo and hope the players at PartyPoker can help me choose it!” said Jaime.
Italian F1 star Giancarlo Fisichella was one of the first to welcome Jaime into Team PartyPoker “If Jaime has a natural flair for poker like he does for driving, he can come and join the poker elite in F1. I am not going to go into too much detail but several of my mates are good players: Kubica, Alonso, Liuzzi, Heidfeld, Glock and Rosberg are the ones I would pick out. They all love it! From what I have seen of Jaime he has the potential to be one of the best!”
