Felipe Nasr

Luiz Felipe de Oliveira Nasr (born 21 August 1992 in Brasília, DF, Brazil) is a Brazilian racing driver, who competed in the FIA GP2 Series between 2012 and 2014. The British Formula 3 Champion upon his arrival in GP2, Nasr would claim a best Championship finish of third in GP2, before going on to compete in Formula One, Formula E and the WeatherTech SportsCar Championship.

Nasr made his GP2 debut at the start of the 2012 season, joining DAMS for the full campaign alongside Davide Valsecchi. The Brazilian racer duly went on to claim four podiums in his rookie campaign, finishing tenth in the Championship as teammate Valsecchi claimed the title.

For 2013 Nasr opted to move to Carlin, and would again open the season with a podium finish at the opening round. The Brazilian racer would go on to score another handful of podiums, although a poor run of scores towards the end of the season meant that Nasr's title hopes faded as he finished fourth overall.

Retained by Carlin for 2014, Nasr would finally grab his maiden GP2 victory at the second round of the campaign, setting him up for a title challenge. The Brazilian racer would, however, see his title bid falter due to a stronger run-in for eventual champion Jolyon Palmer, with Nasr ultimately ending the season in third.

After his title challenge in GP2, Nasr secured a seat in F1 with Sauber for 2015, beginning a two-season stay in the championship. After a year out in 2017, Nasr restarted his racing career in the WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, claiming the Championship title in his rookie season.

Background
Nasr's racing career began at the age of seven in his native Brazil, with the Brazilian racer claiming multiple karting titles through until he was fifteen. Nasr duly moved into racing cars for 2008, debuting in the Formula BMW Americas in support of the 2008 Brazilian Grand Prix. The Brazilian duly moved to the European version of the series for 2009, beginning his climb up the junior single seater ladder.

Junior Jousting
Nasr moved to the British Formula 3 Championship for the 2010 season, having claimed the Formula BMW Europe title in 2009. A semi-successful maiden F3 campaign saw Nasr finish the year in fifth, with the Brazilian sticking with the series into 2011. This time Nasr would not only win the Championship ahead of Kevin Magnussen, but would also earn a drive at the Rolex 24 at Daytona through the Sunoco Challenge.

Post GP2 Series Career
The 2014 season saw Nasr get his first taste of a Formula One car, after he had signed with Williams to be their test and reserve driver. That, combined with his strong GP2 campaign and significant personal sponsorship, saw the Brazilian get a full race seat in F1 for 2015, with Sauber signing the Brazilian on a two year contract. It proved to be a fairly strong debut season in the reasonably competitive Sauber C34, with Nasr ending the season in thirteenth.

Nasr duly returned for Sauber in 2016, although with the Swiss based team beginning to struggle for funding the Brazilian struggled to match his efforts from the previous season. Indeed, Nasr's second F1 campaign would end with the Brazilian scoring just two points, prompting the Swiss squad to draft in Pascal Wehrlein to replace him in 2017. Nasr was left without a drive that season, leaving him on the sidelines with no prospect of retaking an F1 seat.

2018 saw Nasr return to racing by joining the WeatherTech SportsCar Championship which he duly won at the first attempt. The Brazilian racer duly signed up to the WeatherTech series for the 2019 season, and would also make his Formula E debut midway through the 2018-19 season. After finishing second in the 2019 WeatherTech Championship, Nasr returned for a third full campaign in 2020, although he could only muster eighth partnering Pipo Derani.
