Career[]
Karting[]
Born in Legnano, Colombo started his karting career in 2009. He predominantly competed in Italy, highlight of his karting career finishing second in the Andrea Margutti Trophy in 2018.
Lower formulae[]
In 2016 the Italian made his car racing debut in the Italian F4 Championship, driving for BVM Racing, where he finished 12th in the standings, having scored one podium at Imola.
Colombo continued to race in the Italian F4 Championship in 2017, partnering Leonardo Lorandi and Sebastián Fernández at Bhaitech.[1] He would end up finishing third in the standings with two victories and 223 points.
He also made a one-off appearance in the ADAC Formula 4 Championship that same year, scoring no points as he was a guest driver.
At the end of 2018 Colombo made a one-off appearance for R-ace GP in Italian F4, which yielded three points in three races.
Formula Renault Eurocup[]
In 2018 Colombo made his debut in the Formula Renault Eurocup for JD Motorsport.[2] He scored two pole positions and finished 6th in the standings. The year after Colombo moved to MP Motorsport in his pursuit of winning the series.[3] However, he didn't manage to do so, and with three race wins and 214.5 points he ended up fourth in the championship.
In 2020, Colombo would switch to his former Formula 4 outfit, Bhaitech Racing.[4] Despite missing the round in Spa due to a heavy nosebleed after a routine COVID-19 test,[5] Colombo finished 5th in the drivers' standings, courtesy of a hattrick of victories in the final three races of the series' history.[6][7]
FIA Formula 3 Championship[]
Colombo progressed to the FIA Formula 3 Championship with Campos Racing, partnering László Tóth and Amaury Cordeel.[8] His season started out relatively poorly, with no points finishes in the opening three rounds. At the fourth round in Budapest however Colombo managed to qualify the car in eleventh, putting him second on the grid for the first race thanks to the reversing of the top twelve in Qualifying. After maintaining position through the first seven laps, the Italian made a move on leader Jonny Edgar into the first corner, and as they were accelerating away the Brit lost power and Colombo took the race lead. He would hold on to cross the finish line in first place, but he was stripped of victory by a five-second penalty he was given due to having driven more than ten car lengths behind the Safety Car prior to the car turning its lights out for the restart.[9][10]
