🇮🇹 Federico Malvestiti

Federico Malvestiti is a Silver-graded professional sportscar driver competing in endurance and GT racing. His rating of 3,619 places him at the semi-professional level; this means he wins occasionally in pro-am fields and holds his own among full professionals in shared classes, but does not consistently run at the sharp end of the strongest grids. His eight-season racing record spans single-seaters from 2015 to 2022 and has recently transitioned into GT racing, where he now competes for BMW Italia Ceccato Racing.[1]

Malvestiti's single-seater career, spent primarily with Jenzer Motorsport across Italian F4, Formula 3, and Formula Renault Eurocup, yielded one win and five podiums across 119 starts. His most competitive period came in Italian F4, where he finished sixth overall in 2018 with one victory; his subsequent promotion to Formula 3 from 2019 to 2022 produced no wins or podiums in 36 starts. Throughout this period he raced regularly against drivers of considerably higher calibre, including multiple FIA Platinum-graded professionals and future Formula 1 drivers. Against Kush Maini, a much stronger Silver-graded professional, Malvestiti finished ahead only 12 times in 60 shared races. His head-to-head records against the other frequent rivals, Enzo Fittipaldi (the 2018 Italian F4 champion), Lorenzo Colombo, and Olli Caldwell, show consistent gaps; across those three he finished ahead only 34 times in 152 shared races. A gap of six years between his last single-seater start in 2022 and his return to racing in 2025 marks a complete career reset.[2]

Malvestiti has recently returned to competition in GT World Challenge Europe for BMW Italia Ceccato Racing. His profile indicates he won the GT3 Pro-Am division of the 2024 Italian GT Sprint Championship alongside co-driver Pedro Carvalho Ebrahim, suggesting his current focus lies in sportscar racing and pro-am competition where his skill set is better suited.
