Matteo Nannini (born 10 July 2003) is an Italian-Argentine racing driver currently competing in the 2021 Formula 2 Championship and the 2021 FIA Formula 3 Championship driving for Campos Racing and HWA Racelab respectively. He is the second nephew of former Formula One driver Alessandro Nannini and of singer Gianna Nannini.[2]

Career[]

Karting[]

Nannini started karting at the age of 6 where he would go on to win a number of karting championships. In 2015 Nannini joined Fernando Alonso's karting team, and this is where Nannini won his second competition at Trofeo dei Campioni in Italy.

Formula 4[]

After competing in other lower formulas, Nannini had the most success in the 2019 Formula 4 UAE Championship where he won 7 races and won the title by 48 points over Joshua Dürksen.

FIA Formula 3 Championship[]

In his second year of single-seater racing, Nannini moved up to the FIA Formula 3 Championship with Jenzer Motorsport.[3] Nannini struggled throughout the first half of the season, claiming his first point score in Round 6 in Barcelona. He finished in 10th in the first race, which gave him reverse-grid pole.[4] Nannini then managed to claim his first and only podium with a 3rd place in the second race of the weekend.[5] Nannini failed to score any points for the rest of the season and finished 18th overall in the championship with 11 points. Nannini returned to the series in 2021 with HWA Racelab.[6]

FIA Formula 2 Championship[]

Nannini will be performing double duties in both F3 and Formula 2 in 2021, partnering Alessio Deledda at HWA Racelab.[7]

In May 2021, Nannini announced he would be solely focusing on the Formula 3 championship after his sponsor ended support for a Formula 2 campaign.[8] Williams Academy driver Jack Aitken replaced Nannini for the Monaco and Baku rounds.[9] Nannini would return to the championship with Campos Racing, racing in Baku after Gianluca Petecof had left the team.
