Alexandre Negrão

Alexandre Sarnes Negrão (born 14 October 1985 in Campinas, São Paulo State, Brazil) is a Brazilian racing driver and entrepreneur, who competing in the FIA GP2 Series between 2005 and 2007. Known alternately as Xande Negrão or Xandinho, Negrão would compete exclusively for Piquet GP during his time in GP2, supporting Nelson Piquet Jr.

Negrão was signed by Piquet Sports ahead of the inaugural 2005 GP2 season, partnering Piquet Jr. for the campaign. Outclassed by his more well known teammate, Negrão ended the 2005 campaign in nineteenth with four points to his credit.

Retained by Piquet GP for 2006, Negrão would have a better sophomore season, although he would again fail to challenge Piquet Jr. during the season. Indeed, while Negrão more than trebled his tally of points in 2006, he would only manage to claim thirteenth in the Championship come the end of the campaign.

Regardless, Piquet GP would hold onto Negrão for 2007, with the Brazilian racer taking over as their lead driver as Piquet moved to Formula One. Unfortunately for Negrão he would be outscored by his rookie teammate Roldán Rodríguez during the season, as he slumped to twentieth in the standings.

Negrão left GP2 at the end of the 2007 season, instead taking a seat in the FIA GT Championship, as well as A1 Grand Prix. Subsequent seasons saw Negrão move into the Brazilian Stock Car Championship as well as the Brazilian GT3 Championship, with Negrão claiming two titles in the latter in 2019 and 2020.

Background
Negrão began his racing career in karting at the age of twelve, competing in his native Brazil until he turned eighteen. In 2003 the Brazilian youth signed a deal with Piquet GP to join their Formula Three Sudamericana squad for the campaign, finishing third overall with two wins. Remaining with the Brazilian squad in his national series, Negrão would go on to claim the Sudamericana title, while also claiming the title in the Brasileiro de Endurance - Cat I series.

After losing his GP2 seat, Negrão moved to A1 Grand Prix, racing for Team Brazil, before moving into the FIA GT Championship with Maserati. The Brazilian racer duly claimed third in FIA GT1, and would keep racing in the series through to 2010. Negrão would also make a move into the Brazilian Stock Car series in 2009, racing in that category until 2013, before returning to the series in 2015 and 2016.

Elsewhere, Negrão would move into racing GT3 cars, competing in various series including the Pirelli World Challenge and the national Brazilian GT3 series. It would be in the latter that Negrão found the most success, with the Brazilian racer claiming the 2019 and 2020 titles in Brazilian GT3.
