🇮🇹 Giacomo Ricci

Giacomo Ricci is an established professional, FIA Gold graded, who raced as a solo driver in the single-class GP2 Series for DPR between 2008 and 2010. He took one win and two podiums across 15 starts in the championship before retiring from active racing.[1]

Ricci's three seasons in GP2 placed him 13th in the final standings for 2010, the year he scored his sole victory. His record against the field included regular competition with Davide Valsecchi, an established professional and 2012 GP2 champion, with whom he ran closely matched; he also raced Pastor Maldonado, the 2010 GP2 champion, though typically finished behind him. He beat Sergio Pérez twice, an elite professional who went on to race 299 Formula 1 grands prix, and Marcus Ericsson four times, who later took 97 Formula 1 starts alongside 132 in IndyCar.[2]

DPR fielded 13 drivers across the indexed record and took three wins total; its strongest driver was established professional Johnny Cecotto Jr. Ricci's single win placed him among the team's race winners in a mid-sized operation competing in a field that mixed amateurs and semi-professionals with graded professionals.
