🇧🇷 Enrique Bernoldi

Enrique Bernoldi is a retired established professional who raced primarily in single-seater championships across an eleven-season career from 1997 to 2015. He made 28 starts in Formula 1 for Arrows during 2001 and 2002, and competed in International Formula 3000 for the Red Bull Junior Team. He also raced in IndyCar, the FIA GT Championship, and made appearances in Formula 3 Macau and the WEC.[1]

His single-seater record centres on his two seasons in Formula 1, where he finished 28th in the 2001 championship. In International Formula 3000 he made 18 starts across 1999 and 2000 as a junior driver. His IndyCar campaign in 2008 comprised 15 starts, the majority on oval circuits. Outside single-seaters, he took a win and two podiums in the FIA GT Championship in 2009 and scored a podium in a single WEC start in 2012 with AF Corse-Waltrip. His best results came in Formula 3 Macau, where he won once and finished on the podium five times across six starts between 1997 and 1998.[2]

Bernoldi's regular opposition in Formula 3000 included Nick Heidfeld, the 1999 series champion, against whom he typically finished behind. In IndyCar he was regularly outpaced by Justin Wilson, the 2001 Formula 3000 champion. He finished ahead of Mark Webber six times across their careers and beat Fernando Alonso twice, both of whom would go on to substantially stronger records at higher levels of racing.
