Franco Comotti was an Italian racing driver whose Formula 1 career comprised two starts across the 1950 and 1952 seasons, both in Ferrari machinery. His Racer Rating of 4,286 places him among professional drivers; he operated at the level of a national championship front-runner or the upper reaches of a strong feeder series, capable of beating semi-professionals consistently. The calibre of the field against which this assessment was made is not specified in the available record.[1]

Comotti failed to score championship points during his World Championship appearances. His record across two starts included no finishes in the points, with an average finishing position of P12 among classified results. He participated in non-Championship Formula 1 races during the same period, though detailed results from those outings are not provided here. His involvement with Ferrari, one of the sport's leading teams, offered him access to competitive machinery, though he was unable to convert that opportunity into a points-scoring finish at the championship level. His racing career was brief; he competed only during 1950 to 1952 before retiring from the sport.[2]
