🇺🇸 Santino Ferrucci

Santino Ferrucci is an established professional racing driver and FIA Gold-graded competitor in Indurance racing. He drives the No. 14 Chevrolet for A.J. Foyt Enterprises in the IndyCar Series, where he has made the bulk of his career since 2018. Ferrucci holds a rating of 5,763, placing him among established professionals on the circuit; his record shows a driver who competes consistently at this level without regularly challenging for wins.[1]

Over 14 seasons and 212 starts across open-wheel and single-seater series, Ferrucci has taken five podiums. His primary platform has been IndyCar, where 112 starts across road courses and ovals from 2018 onward have yielded three podiums. Earlier in his career he raced in the lower formulae: FIA Formula 3 European and GP3 Series competition in the mid-2010s, followed by a brief spell in Formula 2 in 2017 and 2018. His IndyCar tenure has been the longest and most stable part of his career, spent throughout with Foyt's team. In the 2026 season, Ferrucci finished active in the series; recent reports indicate he will step back to a part-time role for 2027 as the team brings in Dennis Hauger as a full-time driver.[2]

The company Ferrucci keeps in IndyCar is that of established and elite professionals. He races regularly against Felix Rosenqvist, the 2015 FIA Formula 3 European champion and a fellow Gold-graded driver, though Ferrucci typically finishes behind him. His principal rival is Alex Palou, an elite professional and five-time IndyCar champion; this pairing shows the strength gap clearly, as Palou has dominated the series over the last five seasons. In the lower formulae, Ferrucci's record included occasions against drivers of generational standing: he finished ahead of George Russell, now generational and a two-time Formula 2 champion, eleven times across their shared races in Formula 3 European and Formula 2, and twice finished ahead of Lando Norris across FIA Formula 3 European competition.
