🇮🇹 Nicola Lacorte

Nicola Lacorte is an Italian racing driver currently competing in the FIA Formula 3 Championship with DAMS Lucas Oil. He came through the junior single-seater ranks in Italy, where he won races in the Italian F4 Championship, and he was formerly a member of the Alpine Academy, which helped shape his early development as a driver. His progression into Formula 3 represents the natural next step in that career path, placing him among a field of young drivers seeking to establish themselves at a higher level of international motorsport.[1]

Across his Formula 3 career to date, Lacorte has made 29 starts without yet recording a win, podium, or championship title. His Racer Rating stands at 2,429, placing him 4,370th among active drivers on a scale where the world's elite typically score between 10,000 and 11,500, reflecting a career still very much in an early, developing phase. In the 2026 season, he has taken part in two rounds without a win or podium, sitting P225 in the standings. As an active driver still building his results at this level, Lacorte's Formula 3 tenure with DAMS Lucas Oil remains a work in progress as he looks to translate his junior category promise into competitive form in a highly demanding championship.[2]
