Macéo Capietto (born 12 January 2006) is a French racing driver competing in theEuropean Le Mans Series withIron Lynx-Proton in the LMP2 class. He is also an automotive engineering student at ESTACA.^{[citation needed]}

Born inMontereau and based inVeneux-les-Sablons, Capietto has spent all his life in theÎle-de-France, the most populous region of France.^[2] He is the son ofPrema Racing team manager and former karting driver Guillaume Capietto, and To-Play founder Wanessa Capietto.^[3] He now lives in the south of Paris where he studies automotive engineering at ESTACA, whilst perusing his motorsport career.

Following in the footsteps of his father, Capietto started competing in karting from a very young age. After spending two seasons in Minikart in which he came third in the French Cup, he graduated to Minimes where he became the regional Île-de-France champion.^[2] In 2018, he moved onto the international scene where he was coached byAnthoine Hubert.^[4] He came runner-up toEsteban Masson in the 2019 French Junior Karting Championship,^[5] and in his last year of karting, driving for Kosmic Racing, he came 6th in the World Junior Championship having fought for the podium in the early stages and working his way back up the order after a mid-race off track excursion.^[6][7] The same year, he finished runner-up toConnor Zilisch in theKarting Academy Trophy.^[8]

In 2021, Capietto joined theFrench F4 Championship to make his single-seater debut.^[9] Despite his inexperience, he achieved his first F4 victory in only his fourth race at theMagny-Cours circuit. Taking four wins across the season and leading the championship entering the last round, ahead of title rivalEsteban Masson.^[10][11] Having won the FIA Championship the previous day, Capietto needed to finish ahead of his rival to win the French Championship. After a race long battle between Hugh Barther and Masson, Capietto caught up to the leading group. In a last lap scrap with Barther, Capietto ended up coming together in controversial fashion with Masson: pole-sitting Masson remained in the lead of the race and the standings until the last lap when the pair collided, putting Masson out of the race and provisionally handing Capietto the title.^[12] However, following an investigation by the race stewards, Capietto was later disqualified from all results of that weekend and thus stripped of both titles. He ended up 3rd in the standings, behind champion Masson and Hugh Barter, and therefore losing both the super licence points and the championship winning bonus of 100k€.^[13]

In late 2021, Capietto also made two appearances in theItalian F4 Championship withPrema Powerteam.^[14] He scored two rookie podiums in the final round of the season atMonza climbing more than 50 positions over the three races.

After testing for several teams during the winter,^[15] Capietto moved into theFormula Regional European Championship in 2022, partnering Pietro Armanni andCenyu Han at Monolite Racing.^[16][17] He was the only driver to score points for the team this season, with a best result of 7th in Mugello and a best qualifying of 6th in Spielberg.

Capietto switched toRace Performance Motorsport for the2023 Formula Regional European Championship.^[18] Where he scored a his maiden FRECA podium and finished 8th in the standings.

Capietto was set to return to theFormula Regional European Championship in 2025 with CL Motorsport, for the second and final four rounds of the championship.^[19] However, he has since only appeared in the second round, but did return to the series during the eighth round inBarcelona withRPM.^[20]
