Nasr Felipe(Brazil, 21/08/1992)

Felipe Nasr (born on 21 August 1992 in Brasilia, Federal District, Brazil) is a Brazilian racing driver, best known for his experience in Formula 1 in the mid-2010s and for his subsequent high-profile career in endurance racing and sports prototypes.

After starting in karting in Brazil, Nasr moved to Europe at a very young age to complete his development. In 2009 he debuted in Formula BMW Europe, a category in which he stood out by winning the championship in 2011 with Jochen Rindt Motorsport. His progression to higher-level single-seaters was rapid: in 2012 he competed in British Formula 3, and in 2013 he stepped up to the GP2 Series, where he achieved victories and strong results with Carlin, establishing himself as one of the most promising prospects on the international scene.

In 2014 he joined the Williams young driver programme and took part in several Formula 1 free practice sessions. His official World Championship debut came in 2015 with Sauber: at his first race in Australia he finished fifth, one of the best debuts by a Brazilian driver in the modern F1 era. He contested two full seasons with the Hinwil-based team (2015-2016), scoring valuable points during a technically and financially difficult period for the squad.

At the end of 2016, after failing to secure a seat for the following season, Nasr concluded his Formula 1 career. His move to North American competition and endurance racing marked a decisive turning point. From 2017 he competed regularly in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, achieving top-level results and establishing himself as an endurance specialist.

In the following years he became one of Porsche’s reference drivers in its factory programmes. With Porsche Penske Motorsport he secured titles and victories in major North American classics, including the 24 Hours of Daytona, standing out for consistency and his ability to work within top-level driver line-ups. In parallel he also competed in the World Endurance Championship, contributing to the German manufacturer’s success in the Hypercar/LMDh era.

Off the track he maintains a relatively reserved profile, while remaining one of the most recognisable figures of the new generation of Brazilian drivers on the international motorsport scene.
