Formula One drivers from Italy
There have been 119 Formula One drivers from Italy, of whom 100 have entered a World Championship Grand Prix, including three World Drivers' Champions. Giuseppe "Nino" Farina won the world championship in its inaugural year (1950) and Alberto Ascari was the first double World Champion (winning titles in 1952 and 1953). The first three championships came in the early 1950s, and few Italian drivers came close to the title during the 73-year drought that ended with Kimi Antonelli winning the World Championship in 2026. In each season from 1989 to 1991, there were a record 13 drivers from Italy. Prior to Antonio Giovinazzi in 2017, there were five consecutive seasons without an Italian driver, with 2012 marking the first season an Italian driver did not enter a Formula One race weekend. Kimi Antonelli of Mercedes is the only Italian driver competing in 2026, having made his debut in 2025.
