Gianni Morbidelli (born 13 January 1968[1]) is an Italianracing driver. He participated in 70Formula One Grands Prix, debuting on 11 March 1990. He achieved one podium, and scored a total of 8.5 championship points. He most recently competed in theTCR International Series.
Morbidelli was born inPesaro. His father, Giancarlo Morbidelli, was the founder of theMorbidelli motorcycle company which had some success inGrand Prix motorcycle racing. Morbidelli startedkarting in 1980. He won the EUR-AM championship in 1986, before moving toItalian Formula Three.[2] He became ItalianFormula 3 and Formula 3 European Cup champion in 1989, as well as winning two races in Italian Touring Cars.[3] He then moved to theScuderia Italia Formula One team, doing the first 2 races of the1990 F1 season as stand-in forEmanuele Pirro, before concentrating onFormula 3000. He won 1 race and finished 5th in the 1990 championship, as well as undertaking test driver duties forScuderia Ferrari for that year.[4]

Resuming his F1 career at the end of the1990 season, Morbidelli competed in the final two races of the season withMinardi, where he remained until the end of1992.[2] He briefly joined Ferrari for the1991 Australian Grand Prix, drafted in afterAlain Prost was fired by the team, where Morbidelli earned his first Formula One points, earning half a point for 6th after a rain-shortened race. A lack of sponsorship led to him leaving Minardi to rejoinItalian Touring Cars for 1993, where he drove anAlfa Romeo 155 to two wins forAlfa Corse, before being hired byFootwork Arrows for1994.[3] He managed four-point-scoring positions in two years with the team, including his only podium place finish in the1995 Australian Grand Prix, earning third place in a race of high attrition. Morbidelli became Footwork Arrows' most successful driver, with a total of eight points for the team.
Morbidelli also competed in theItalian Superturismo Championship for 1995, scoring two race wins, and, after spending a year out in 1996 testing forJordan, gained another podium that year.[2] Back in Formula One for1997, he raced in several mid-season events forSauber as a replacement forNicola Larini.[3] He scored no points and was not classified in the championship for that year. His unsuccessful season, and two injuries by separate testing accidents, led to Morbidelli retiring from Formula One racing.[2]
In 1998 he drove forVolvo in theBritish Touring Car Championship, but was not as competitive as his teammateRickard Rydell, who won that year's title. His only competitive showing was in the summer meeting atThruxton, where he charged from near the back of the back to finish fourth, passing many cars in the process. Morbidelli then spent several years in various Europeantouring car series', with a high point in the 2001European Touring Car Championship, where he raced theBMW 320i to fifth place in the championship, winning the last race atEstoril.[5] Morbidelli raced in the Italian round of the2004 season in aSEAT Toledo, but scored no points and did not contest in further meetings.

Morbidelli drove aLamborghini in severalgrand tourer races in 2005, and moved back to touring cars for 2006. Competing in theWorld Touring Car Championship forN-Technology, he managed two second places in anAlfa Romeo 156.[6] Not as competitive as when he was driving the BMW, he moved back to GT racing for 2007, winning two races in theADAC GT Masters series. He has had considerable success in theItalian Superstars Championship, where Morbidelli won the title with bothAudi RS4 andBMW M3 three years in a row from 2007.[2] The short-livedSpeedcar Series gave him another championship title, where he won the2008–09 championship. The season featured a close fight with defending championJohnny Herbert, with Morbidelli finishing one place ahead in the final round to win the title.[7]
He is making his WTCC return in 2014, driving aChevrolet Cruze forMünnich Motorsport. He made his debut in theFIA World Rallycross Championship with the same team athis home round in2015.
