🇺🇸 Santino Ferrucci

Santino Ferrucci is an American professional racing driver with a Racer Rating of 6,163, placing him among the upper-middle tier of active competitors. He holds an FIA Gold classification in sportscar and endurance racing, denoting full professional status in that discipline. His primary career has been in IndyCar, where he has competed full-time since 2018 with 105 starts, achieving three podium finishes but no wins. He currently drives the No. 14 Chevrolet for A. J. Foyt Enterprises.[1]

Ferrucci's progression through the junior single-seater ranks from 2014 onwards included campaigns in FIA Formula 3 European, GP3 Series, and Formula 2, generating five podiums across these categories but no victories. His head-to-head record in IndyCar against multiple Platinum-graded champions and Gold-graded peers reveals the competitive environment he inhabits; against Scott Dixon, a four-time champion and stronger-rated driver, Ferrucci finished ahead only 24 times across 105 races; similar disparities mark his records against Josef Newgarden and Alex Palou, both multiple-time champions. He has occasionally finished ahead of Formula 1 drivers in cross-series competition, including isolated results against George Russell, Lando Norris, and Charles Leclerc, though these represent individual race outcomes rather than sustained head-to-head patterns. His average finishing position across all 205 career starts stands at 13th.[2]

Ferrucci remains actively competitive in IndyCar as of mid-2026, recently drawing attention for on-track incidents and grid penalties. His career reflects a semi-professional racing life spent primarily in top-tier open-wheel and endurance competition, with results consistent across a decade-long tenure at the professional level.
