🇮🇹 Teo Fabi

Teo Fabi is an established professional who raced in Formula 1 from 1982 to 1987, competing for Benetton across 64 starts. He finished ninth in the championship in 1987, his final season in the series. His Formula 1 career yielded two podium finishes against a field that included multiple champions and graded professionals.[1]

Fabi's time in Formula 1 placed him regularly against drivers of elite standing. He finished ahead of Alain Prost, a four-time world champion, on four occasions and ahead of Gerhard Berger, an established professional with over two hundred Formula 1 starts, three times. Against Michele Alboreto, an established professional and regular opponent over the period, the two were closely matched. Prost, however, typically finished ahead of Fabi across their meetings. His career in the top category of international motorsport was followed by success in sportscar racing, where he won the World Sportscar Championship in 1991 with Jaguar.[2]
