Giancarlo "Giano"Fisichella (Italian pronunciation:[dʒaŋˈkarlofiziˈkɛlla]; born 14 January 1973), nicknamedFisico andFisi, is an Italianracing driver andmotorsport executive who competed inFormula One from1996 to2009. Fisichella won threeFormula One Grands Prix across 14 seasons.
Born and raised inRome, Fisichella is a member of the nobleFisichella family ofSicily. After starting his career inkart racing, he progressed toItalian Formula Three in1992, winning the title in1994 withRC Motorsport, as well as theMonaco F3 Grand Prix. Following a season in theDeutsche Tourenwagen Meisterschaft, Fisichella graduated to Formula One withMinardi in1996, debuting at theAustralian Grand Prix. He moved toJordan for1997, achieving his maiden podium finishes at theCanadian andBelgian Grands Prix. He joinedBenetton in1998 with multiple further podiums, as well as his maidenpole position at theAustrian Grand Prix. Several podiums followed across his remaining three seasons atEnstone:one in1999, three in2000—where he finished sixth in theWorld Drivers' Championship—andone in2001.
Fisichella returned to Jordan in2002, where he claimed his maidenwin at the wet-weatherBrazilian Grand Prix thefollowing year; his victory was declared after five days of deliberation and court proceedings due toa timekeeping error classifying him second. He partneredFelipe Massa atSauber for his2004 campaign, scoring severalpoints finishes. His return to Enstone withRenault in2005 alongsideFernando Alonso was headlined by his debut victory from pole inAustralia, claiming multiple further podiums as he finished fifth overall. He achieved a career-best fourth in the World Drivers' Championship in2006, winning theMalaysian Grand Prix from pole as he helped Renault win back-to-backWorld Constructors' Championships. After a winless2007 campaign, Fisichella joinedForce India for2008 and2009, finishing second from pole at the latterBelgian Grand Prix; he replaced an injured Massa atFerrari for the final five rounds and remained theirreserve driver through2010. Fisichella departed Formula One with three victories, four pole positions, twofastest laps, and 19 podium finishes.
Following his departure from Formula One, Fisichella moved intosportscar racing withAF Corse, winning theLe Mans Series in2011 and theFIA World Endurance Championship and24 Hours of Le Mans in 2012 in theGTE class. He again took a class victory at Le Mans in2014, when he moved to theIMSA SportsCar Championship withRisi Competizione. He later returned to WEC from2018 to2022, after which he shifted toItalian GT3. Beyond driving, he founded the eponymousFisichella Motor Sport in2005, managing the team in theGP2 Series from2006 to2009.
Like most currentFormula One drivers, Fisichella begankart racing as a youngster in theGuidonia's Kart circuit. In 1992, he competed in theItalian Formula Three Championship, racing for theRC Motorsport team. He finished runner up in 1993, and in 1994 he won the championship, following race victories inMonaco andMacau.[1] He left open-wheel racing briefly in1995 and1996, driving forAlfa Romeo in theInternational Touring Car Championship.[2]
In June 1997, Fisichella made a one-off appearance at Spa in the Belgian Procar Championship, driving for the works Peugeot team. He stood in forVincent Radermecker and came 2nd.[3][4][5]
In1996, Fisichella made the move to Formula One, making his debut for theMinardi team, after being the official test driver the previous season.[1] However he did not complete the full season since Minardi required a driver who could bring funding to the team, and replaced Fisichella withGiovanni Lavaggi.[6]
In1997, Fisichella made the move toEddie Jordan'seponymous team, where he drove alongside former F1 championMichael Schumacher's brotherRalf, himself a formerFormula Nippon champion.[7] Fisichella gained his first podium finish at the1997 Canadian Grand Prix, and went on to finish higher in the points standings than his teammate.[8] AtHockenheim, a victory looked to be within reach for Fisichella, but a puncture and the performance of an on-formGerhard Berger denied him the win.[9] Fisichella was able to show his talent again at the rain-soakedBelgian Grand Prix in which he finished a commendable second behind Michael Schumacher.[10] Following this race, theBenetton team signed him for 1998.[11]
FollowingRenault's withdrawal from Formula One, Benetton would contest the 1998 season without factory-supplied engines, instead using rebranded development versions of 1997 Renault engines.[12] Despite not having the latest engines, Fisichella still managed second places at Montreal andMonaco, and was in contention for a victory in Canada until gearbox problems slowed him down.[13] InAustria, Fisichella scored his firstpole position.[14] However, an on-track clash withJean Alesi during the race cost him any chance of a good result.[15] He was then able to add only two more points to his total in the second half of the year as Benetton lost ground on their competition.[16]
1999 proved to be a similarly inconsistent season. Fisichella did score some points finishes, including second atMontreal, and again came close to a victory in theEuropean Grand Prix, until he spun off whilst in the lead.[17][18] This would prove to be his best chance of a victory for the next few seasons.
Fisichella's season was to follow a similar pattern in2000. He again gained some surprise podium finishes early in the year inBrazil,Germany,Monaco, andCanada. However, Benetton's poor second half of the season meant that he failed to score any more points.[19] After his first Benetton year, when he finished one point behind him, Fisichella had comprehensively outperformed his Austrian teammateAlexander Wurz, who would then leave the team to make way for British driverJenson Button in 2001.[20] Renault had purchased the Benetton team after the start of the 2000 season, but their radical engine design meant Benetton had an uncompetitive2001 car, and as a result, Fisichella was battling for much of the season with teams such as Minardi andProst.[12] However, the efforts of technical directorMike Gascoyne and his staff did result in improvements over the year, culminating in a 4–5 finish at theGerman Grand Prix and a third-place finish for Fisichella at theBelgium race.[21] Although Fisichella had gained the team's best results that season and consistently outperformed Button, he was not retained by the team, so he rejoinedJordan for2002.[22]
Fisichella scored seven points in 2002, while comfortably outpacing new teammateTakuma Sato, although theJordan-Honda car of that year was never truly competitive.[23] After Honda withdrew their engine supply, Jordan switched to Ford engines for the2003 season, but the team were still unable to compete with the top teams on the grid. Despite this lack of performance, Fisichella won his first race at theBrazilian Grand Prix. Battling withMcLaren'sKimi Räikkönen amidst heavy rain and numerous crashes, Fisichella took the race lead on lap 54, just before the race wasred-flagged. However, he was demoted to second place on the podium, because under theregulations, the race results were declared at two laps before the red flag, at which point Räikkönen was thought to have been the race leader. Several days later, though, theFIA determined that Fisichella had already begun his 56th lap before the red flag, meaning that he, and not Räikkönen, had been leading the race two laps before its premature end, awarding the Italian his first F1 victory, and he became the only F1 driver to have won a race without having stood atop the podium.[24] He collected the winner's trophy at the next race atImola.[25] Fisichella's only other points finish of 2003 was to be a seventh place atIndianapolis.[26]
Unhappy with the Jordan team's performance, Fisichella moved toSauber in 2004 in the hope of greater results, and using the team as a way of gaining access to drive for the 2003 World ChampionsFerrari, who supplied re-badged engines to the Sauber team.[27] Fisichella drove well all year, comfortably outpacing teammateFelipe Massa for much of the season (scoring 22 championship points vsMassa's 12).[28]

Fisichella's strong performances prompted his former Benetton-Renault team bossFlavio Briatore to re-sign him for the 2005 season as partner to the young Spanish driverFernando Alonso.[29] A win at the season opening race atMelbourne signalled the Formula One breakthrough that commentators had been predicting, but it proved to be something of a false dawn.[30] A run of poor luck saw Fisichella fall behind his teammate in the championship standings, and at times the pair were achieving noticeably different lap times with the same equipment. It appeared that Fisichella simply did not have the pace to match Alonso.
The difference in pace between Fisichella and Alonso was noticeable, and while Alonso's metronomic consistency helped him win thechampionship, Fisichella's general bad luck was to cost him points finishes. He was overtaken and lost the lead on the final lap of theJapanese Grand Prix by McLaren driver Kimi Räikkönen, despite hisrace engineer urging him to avoid letting Räikkönen past, which earned him heavy criticism from the press. Nevertheless, his performances alongside Alonso throughout the season enabledRenault to win the World Constructors' Championship ahead ofMcLaren andFerrari, the latter of which had won that title the previous six seasons.[31]
2006 proved to be a similar season for Fisichella. Having won inMalaysia, putting in a strong performance to win from the pole position.[32] However, he failed to maintain that pace for the upcoming races and even failed to reach the top ten in qualifying for two races. This form, in addition to a penalty inMonaco for allegedly impedingDavid Coulthard, meant Fisichella was again unable to challenge his teammateAlonso for the Drivers' Championship.[33] Some strong results in the second half of the 2006 season, including finishing ahead of Alonso at theUS Grand Prix, enabled Fisichella to obtain his best results: Fourth in the World Drivers' Championship with 72 points, one win, and five podium finishes.[34] After finishing third inJapan, Fisichella dedicated the result to his best friend, Tonino Visciani, who died of a heart attack on the Thursday before the race.[35] Nevertheless, he was able to get a sixth-place finish inBrazil to secure the Constructors' title for Renault.[36]
In2007, Fisichella became Renault's lead driver after the departure ofFernando Alonso. His teammate was the team's former test driver, the youngFinnHeikki Kovalainen, who was replaced as test driver byNelson Piquet Jr.[37]
Renault did not demonstrate the same level of pace as in previous seasons, which had seen them win successive World Championships. It remains unclear whether the difference was due to the change of tyre supplier fromMichelin toBridgestone, the driving abilities of Fernando Alonso, or simply being outpaced in off-season development by the other top teams. Another possibility is that the team's wind tunnel was giving inaccurate data in late 2006 which affected the development of the 2007 car.[38] In the early races, Fisichella obtained better results than rookie teammate Kovalainen, but inCanada and theUnited States, it was the Finn who claimed the higher finishes. Fisichella was disqualified from theCanadian Grand Prix, along with Ferrari'sFelipe Massa, for exiting the pit lane while the traffic light was showing red, the purpose of which is to prevent cars rejoining the race ahead of thesafety car. He later stated that he had been busy avoiding other cars in the pit lane and had simply not noticed the red light.[39] The Renault team seemed to have made significant progress in terms of pace by theSpanish Grand Prix, but a series of fuel rig problems meant that neither driver was able to capitalise on this apparent increase in performance.[40] Fisichella crashed into theSuper Aguri ofAnthony Davidson inHungary which broke his rear suspension and forced him to retire.[41]
WithRenault signingFernando Alonso andNelson Piquet Jr. Fisichella was announced as the number one driver alongsideAdrian Sutil for theForce India F1 team for the2008 season (This was the third stint for Fisichella at the former Jordan team) on 10 January 2008.[42] In the2008 Monaco Grand Prix, he became the 9th driver to join the '200' club for drivers to have competed in at least 200 Grands Prix.[43]
Fisichella finished the season pointless, as did the Force India team. However, there were a few moments when he found himself in the points position, such as theBrazil, where an early change to soft compound tyres and his wet-weather ability saw him climb as high as fifth.[44] On 17 October, Force India announced they would keep Fisichella for the 2009 season.[45]
With the newForce India VJM02 powered by aMercedes-Benz engine, Fisichella qualified 18th (promoted to 15th after bothToyotas andLewis Hamilton were demoted) on the grid for the 2009 curtain-opener atAustralia. He finished 11th in the race itself.[46] InMalaysia, he qualified 18th, and was classified in the same position, having spun off in the torrential rain that stopped the race on lap 33.[47]
On 29 August, making the most of some very effective technical upgrades from Force India, Fisichella recorded the team's first pole position at theBelgian Grand Prix.[48] He went on to score Force India's first points and earn them their first podium in Formula One with a strong second-place finish behind Ferrari's Kimi Räikkönen.[49]
During that weekend, there were rumours that Fisichella might replace fellow ItalianLuca Badoer (who was himself replacing the injured Felipe Massa) and become aFerrari driver, something that he admitted he always wanted to do.[50] On 3 September 2009, an official press statement confirmed Fisichella would be released from Force India to drive for Ferrari at theItalian Grand Prix, his home race.[51]
Fisichella signed a contract as Ferrari's driver for the remainder of the 2009 season and reserve driver for 2010 on 3 September 2009.[52] However, he had not ruled out continuing to race for another team in 2010, saying "if there is a good option to find another seat in another team it would be good".[53] Beginning with the2009 Italian Grand Prix, he replaced the injuredFelipe Massa for the remainder of the2009 season.
Fisichella remained Ferrari's reserve driver for2010 but had been keen to keep racing for a different team. He admitted thatSauber was a strong option and was strongly linked to the team,[54] however his hopes of driving for Sauber in 2010 were ended whenPedro de la Rosa was confirmed as the team's second driver.[55] He was also linked to a possible return toForce India but the team confirmed former teammateAdrian Sutil and fellow ItalianVitantonio Liuzzi. As a result, he remained one of Ferrari's test drivers for2010 along with fellow ItalianLuca Badoer, SpaniardMarc Gené, FrenchmanJules Bianchi and ItalianMotoGP riderValentino Rossi.[52]
At the end of 2010, Fisichella along withLuca Badoer andMarc Gené was replaced byJules Bianchi as Ferrari test driver ahead of the2011 season.[56] However he remains a part of the Italian team and attended their annual 'Wroom' media event atMadonna di Campiglio in January 2011.[57]
Fisichella's helmet was white with a yellow stripe running above the visor and dropping to a "v" at the back of the head, and a green stripe below the visor that came to a peak on the back of the head, intersecting the yellow stripe and forming an X on each side of the back of the head, with blue squares replacing the points of intersection; on top there was a blue droplet shape with the point facing backwards to meet the apex of the green line. In 2004, silver and chrome flames were incorporated in the design by Fisichella's then painter, Carsten Meurer of MRC Design. In 2007, Barney Stinton, part of Fisichella's management team incorporated the Italian colours into the design and the helmet was realised by Jens Munser of JMD, a design he uses to this day. Whilst at Renault it featured a light blue ring. Once at Ferrari, his helmet turned black and grey.
In 2004, whilst racing for Sauber, Fisichella became the first driver in Formula 1 to have hisHANS device painted in his colours, Massa followed soon after and then the rest of the grid had theirs painted.
Fisichella made hissports car racing debut in 2010 by driving forAF Corse in aFerrari F430 in theLe Mans Series as well as briefly in theAmerican Le Mans Series as part of the Ferrari deal he signed in mid-2009.[58]
In 2011, Fisichella,Gianmaria Bruni and their teamAF Corse won both drivers' and teams' championships in the LMGTE Pro class of the Le Mans Series, by finishing second atLe Mans and won the1000 km of Spa and helpedAF Corse win the team's championship in theIntercontinental Le Mans Cup.
In 2012, Fisichella was again with AF Corse and took part in the2012 World Endurance Championship He won the season opener and came second inSpa.
In the 80th edition of the24 Hours of Le Mans in 2012, Fisichella and the AF Corse Team scored first place in the GTE-Pro class along with his co-driversToni Vilander and Gianmaria Bruni; theirFerrari 458 Italia covered a total of 335 laps (2,845.53 miles), of theCircuit de la Sarthe. Fisichella had the honor of driving the last stage of the competition. After a difficult 2013 Fisichella moved to the TUSCC Series in America to race for Risi Competizione but returned to AF Corse and teammates Bruni and Vilander for the 2014 edition the Le Mans 24hrs. After a hard-fought race, they emerged victorious covering 339 laps, 4 more than their 2012 win tally. Fisichella then returned to America and won at Road America and Virginia International Raceway, he was then placed 8th in the GT Le Mans standings.[59][60]
In 2022, Fisichella competed in one round and 3 races at theAdelaide 500 in theS5000 category. "I am thrilled to be coming back to Australia to race S5000 – at last," he stated. "My Formula 1 career started literally a few weeks after thelast F1 race in Adelaide. I have never driven on thecircuit, which is now a slightly shorter version of the GP track. I expect the S5000 car will be fast there, and I'm thrilled to be driving withTeam BRM, which has a great record in racing in Australia."[61]
Outside of driving, Fisichella has backed his ownGP2 team,FMS International.[62]
