Ottorino Volonterio was a Swiss racing driver who competed in Formula 1 between 1954 and 1957, entering three races across that span. All of his starts came as a Maserati driver, representing a team that achieved nine wins in the database index and fielded drivers ranging from occasional competitors to Juan Fangio, one of the era's dominant figures. Volonterio did not finish on a podium in any of his three races and did not win a grand prix.[1]

His competitive record shows an average finishing position of 11th across his classified starts, placing him in the middle of the grid in terms of race outcomes but reflecting the limited sample of his grand prix career. He competed in an era when the F1 grid drew from a broad range of national and international racing talent, many of them occasional rather than full-time competitors. His participation in Formula 1 was brief and sporadic, with his final race coming in 1957.[2]
