Renato Pirocchi was an Italian driver who competed in Formula 1 during the 1961 season at the professional level, with a Racer Rating of 4,304. This places him in the professional band, a national championship front-runner or the sharp end of a strong feeder series; drivers at this level beat semi-professionals comfortably. Pirocchi's career on record consists of two starts for Cooper-Maserati in 1961, neither of which yielded points or podium finishes.[1]

Pirocchi's Formula 1 appearances came in a field that included established professionals of considerable calibre. His two starts resulted in a best finish of 12th, with an average classified position of P12. The Cooper team he drove for was competitive at the time, with a record of 12 wins across its index and a strongest driver in Stirling Moss, an elite professional of the highest order. Pirocchi's brief stint in the sport's top category did not yield the results needed to secure a sustained career at that level, and he retired from racing after 1961 without adding to his tally.[2]
