Roberto Merhi is a professional racing driver competing in sports car and endurance racing at the Platinum level, the FIA's highest grading for these disciplines. He races for Velorex in Super GT, where he has contested 30 rounds since 2022. His career spans 17 seasons across single-seater racing, Formula 1, and multiclass endurance competition, accumulating 228 starts, 22 wins and 63 podiums.[1]

Merhi won the 2011 Formula 3 Euro Series for Prema Powerteam after 61 starts in that championship, taking 12 wins and 28 podiums. He also contested the FIA Formula 3 European series the same year, scoring four wins in six starts for the same team. He has since raced in Formula Renault Eurocup, GP3, Formula V8 3.5, Formula 2 and Formula 1; his single-seater peak came in 2015 when he drove for Manor Marussia in Formula 1 across 13 rounds. In endurance racing, he has competed in WEC, the European Le Mans Series in its LMP2 class, and Super GT, where he has taken one win and five podiums. His most recent indexing is from the 2021 WEC season, where he finished 25th in the championship standings across two rounds.[2]

His strongest single-seater results came in competition with a field including generational-level drivers; he finished ahead of George Russell five times and Lando Norris twice across their shared racing. Against established professionals, he has run closely with Marco Wittmann, the 2011 FIA Formula 3 European champion, while typically finishing behind Valtteri Bottas in their regular matchups across Formula 3 Euro Series and GP3. Merhi has raced throughout his career for Prema Powerteam, one of the sport's strongest teams, which fielded him for 35 of his starts.
