Lamberto Leoni is a retired Italian racing driver with a brief career in Formula 1 during 1978. He competed in two World Championship Grands Prix for Ensign, finishing twenty-second in his most recent outing; he failed to qualify for three additional attempts that season and scored no championship points across his starts.[1]

Leoni's single-season tenure in Formula 1 placed him among a field of drivers competing at the sport's highest level, though he did not secure a point-scoring result. His Ensign team, while fielding him twice, was not a competitive outfit; the strongest driver in the team's broader history was Clay Regazzoni, a driver of considerably higher standing. The evidence shows Leoni as an occasional Grand Prix participant rather than a regular competitor or a driver who left a mark on the championship.[2]
