Ottorino Volonterio was a Swiss racing driver competing in Formula 1 between 1954 and 1957 as a professional-level competitor. He drove for Maserati across his three starts in the championship, a team that also fielded the five-time champion Juan Fangio and drew drivers across the amateur to elite professional range.[1]

Volonterio's Formula 1 career comprised three races over four seasons. His most recent indexed appearance came in 1957, when he finished fifteenth in the championship standings after one round. Against the strongest drivers in his field, he consistently finished behind Juan Fangio, the dominant force of the era and a five-time world champion, and Stirling Moss, an established professional with 67 Formula 1 starts to his name.[2]
