Renato Pirocchi was an Italian racing driver who competed in Formula 1 during the 1961 season. He made two starts for Cooper-Maserati, both in that single year, without recording a podium finish or championship points. His single classified finish came at the Italian Grand Prix, where he completed the race in 12th place, five laps adrift of the winner.[1]
Pirocchi's Formula 1 career placed him among drivers of limited single-seater experience at the era's professional level. His average finishing position of 12th reflects the gap between his own capabilities and the front-running drivers in the contemporary World Championship. Cooper-Maserati, the team he raced for, was a constructor of genuine competitive standing that fielded stronger drivers including Stirling Moss. With just two Grand Prix starts to his credit, Pirocchi did not return to international racing after 1961 and remains retired from professional competition.[2]
