Felipe Nasr
Felipe Nasr (born 21 August 1992) is a Brazilian professional racing driver who competed in Formula One for the Sauber team during the 2015 and 2016 seasons, scoring a total of 41 championship points across 40 Grands Prix.[1] Born in Brasília to a family involved in motorsport, Nasr began karting at age seven and won multiple Brazilian karting championships between 2000 and 2007 before transitioning to single-seater racing.[2] Nasr's junior career progressed rapidly; he made his open-wheel debut in the final round of the 2008 Formula BMW Americas series and finished third overall in 2009 after claiming the Formula BMW Europe championship with five wins, six pole positions, and 14 podiums in 16 races.[3] In 2010, he placed third in the inaugural GP3 Series season, followed by the British Formula 3 championship title in 2011 with Carlin Motorsport, where he secured seven victories and 15 podiums in 30 races.[3] He then competed in the GP2 Series from 2012 to 2014, with a best finish of third overall in 2014 with DAMS.[4] In 2014, Nasr served as test and reserve driver for the Williams F1 team while also competing in the FIA World Endurance Championship with Aston Martin Racing.[2] He earned a full-time Formula One seat with Sauber for 2015, marking a strong rookie year with a fifth-place finish in his debut race at the Australian Grand Prix—ending Sauber's 19-race pointless streak—and accumulating 27 points, including additional top-10 results in Russia, Britain, and Singapore.[5] The 2016 season proved more challenging for Sauber amid financial difficulties, but Nasr still scored 14 points with a best of seventh in Brazil, his home Grand Prix.[6] Following his Formula One exit, Nasr briefly raced in Formula E with NextEV Nio in 2017 before shifting to endurance racing.[7] He joined Action Express Racing in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship in 2018, co-driving a Cadillac DPi to the Prototype class drivers' and manufacturers' championships with teammate Eric Curran, highlighted by a win at the Detroit Grand Prix and five podiums.[8] Nasr continued in IMSA with Whelen Engineering Racing in 2019–2021, securing the 2021 Prototype title and victories at the 12 Hours of Sebring (2019) and Petit Le Mans.[8] Since 2022, Nasr has raced for Porsche Penske Motorsport in the IMSA GTP class with the Porsche 963 hybrid prototype, winning the 2024 GTP drivers' championship alongside Dane Cameron, and claiming overall victories at the 24 Hours of Daytona in both 2024 and 2025—the latter being his second consecutive triumph there.[3] In 2025, he also won the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring with co-drivers Laurens Vanthoor and Nick Tandy, contributing to Porsche's Endurance Cup manufacturers' title while finishing third overall in the GTP drivers' standings with 2689 points.[8] Additionally, Nasr competes in the FIA World Endurance Championship for Porsche Penske, pursuing further success in global endurance events as of November 2025.[9]Early career
Karting
Felipe Nasr was born on 21 August 1992 in Brasília, Brazil, into a family deeply involved in motorsport. His father, Samir Nasr, worked as a mechanic, while his uncle Amir Nasr owned a local racing team and had competed in go-karting himself; this environment provided Nasr with early access to tracks and resources from a young age.[10][11] Nasr began competing in karting at the age of seven around 1999, quickly showing promise in regional and national events. In the Cadet category, he secured victories in the Brazilian Regional Championship in Brasília in 2000 and 2001, along with a second-place finish in the Brazilian Championship in 2001.[11][12] Transitioning to the Junior category, Nasr won the Brazilian Regional Championship in Brasília in 2002, 2003, and 2004, and claimed the national Brazilian Karting Championship title in 2006. He continued his success in 2005 by winning the Center-West Cup in the Junior class and in 2007 by taking first in the Sudam Junior category in Argentina and Brazil's Cup in Class B.[12] After dominating the Brazilian karting scene through his mid-teens, Nasr decided to move to Europe in 2008 at age 15 to pursue opportunities in single-seater racing.[10]Formula BMW
Nasr made his debut in single-seater racing in the 2008 Formula BMW Americas championship, competing for Amir Nasr Racing in the season finale at Interlagos supporting the Brazilian Grand Prix. In the two races there, he secured one podium finish with third place in the second race, earning 25 points and finishing tenth overall in the drivers' standings despite only participating in that round.[13] This performance marked a promising start, building on his successful karting background in Brazil that had honed his racing skills for the transition to formula cars.[3] In 2009, Nasr advanced to the Formula BMW Europe series with EuroInternational, where he delivered a dominant campaign at the age of 16. He contested all 16 races, achieving 5 victories—including wins at Monza, Zandvoort, and Hungaroring—along with 5 pole positions and 14 podium finishes, amassing 392 points to clinch the championship by 104 points over teammate Daniel Juncadella.[14][15] This title, secured with a race win at the final round in Monza, showcased his rapid adaptation to European competition and positioned him for further progression in open-wheel racing.[15]Formula Three
Nasr advanced to the British Formula Three Championship in 2010 following his Formula BMW Europe title, which served as a key qualifier for the series.[12] Driving for Räikkönen Robertson Racing in a Dallara F308 Mercedes, he finished fifth overall with 136 points across the season.[16] His highlights included a victory in the feature race at Rockingham, where he navigated opening-lap incidents to secure the win, along with four podium finishes that marked a strong rookie campaign.[17][18] In 2011, Nasr switched to Carlin Motorsport and dominated the British Formula Three International Series, clinching the championship title with 318 points—81 ahead of teammate Kevin Magnussen.[19] He achieved seven wins, including victories at Silverstone and Brands Hatch, and amassed 15 podiums over the 30-race season, showcasing consistent front-running pace.[20][21][22] This performance underscored his adaptation to the series' demands, building on prior experience to secure a GP2 Series seat with DAMS for the following year.[23] Nasr gained international exposure that year by competing in the Macau Grand Prix, where he qualified second but finished second in the main race behind Daniel Juncadella, earning a podium in the prestigious event.[24] His Formula Three tenure honed his racing skills, particularly in racecraft and adaptability, paving the way for higher-level open-wheel competition.[25]GP2 Series
Nasr entered the GP2 Series in 2012 following his British Formula 3 title win the previous year, joining the DAMS team as a rookie alongside Davide Valsecchi.[26] In his debut season, he demonstrated solid consistency, securing four podium finishes across the 24-race campaign, including a second-place result in the sprint race at Spa-Francorchamps.[27] Despite no race victories, Nasr accumulated 95 points to finish tenth in the drivers' standings, marking him as one of the stronger newcomers behind series champion Valsecchi.[12] For 2013, Nasr switched to Carlin, partnering Jolyon Palmer, and elevated his performance with greater consistency on the demanding GP2 grid.[28] He achieved six podiums but no wins, highlighted by strong opening rounds such as fourth in the feature and second in the sprint at Sepang, and a similar result at Bahrain.[29] These efforts yielded 154 points, placing him fourth overall behind champion Fabio Leimer, as Nasr established himself as a title contender while adapting to the series' intense competition level just below Formula One.[12] Nasr remained with Carlin in 2014, entering what became his breakout year in GP2 with heightened expectations after two seasons of building experience.[30] He secured his maiden victory in the sprint race at Barcelona, followed by a feature race win at the Red Bull Ring, a sprint triumph at Silverstone, and another sprint success at Spa-Francorchamps, totaling four wins and ten podiums.[31] These results propelled him to 224 points and third in the championship, five points behind runner-up Stoffel Vandoorne and 52 behind champion Jolyon Palmer.[12] Throughout his GP2 tenure, Nasr benefited from backing by Brazilian sponsors including Banco do Brasil, which facilitated his competitive campaigns and testing opportunities.[32] In 2014, this support aligned with his appointment as Williams' test and reserve driver, where he participated in free practice sessions and aerodynamic testing, gaining invaluable F1 mileage that bolstered his profile ahead of a full-time seat.[4]Formula One career
2015 season
Felipe Nasr secured a race seat with the Sauber F1 Team for the 2015 season, partnering Marcus Ericsson in a lineup powered by Ferrari engines, following his third-place finish in the 2014 GP2 Series.[33] The Brazilian made an impressive debut at the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne, qualifying seventh and finishing fifth to claim 10 points—Sauber's first points in nearly a year and the highest result for the team since 2012.[34] Over the 19-race season, Nasr accumulated 27 points, with his other standout performances including an eighth-place finish in China for four points, a ninth in Monaco for two points, a tenth in Singapore for one point, a sixth in the Russian Grand Prix for eight points, and a ninth in the United States for two points.[34] However, the middle part of the year proved tougher, as Sauber delayed key upgrades, limiting the C34's competitiveness against midfield rivals.[35] Nasr outperformed teammate Ericsson in qualifying with a 10-9 head-to-head advantage, demonstrating strong one-lap pace as a rookie, though he trailed in race points where Ericsson scored just nine.[36] The season included three retirements for Nasr—Spain and Austria due to collisions, and Japan due to engine failure—highlighting occasional reliability setbacks for the C34 despite its improved baseline over the previous year's model.[34] These factors contributed to Nasr concluding the year 13th in the drivers' standings.2016 season
Nasr entered the 2016 Formula One season as Sauber's confirmed driver for a second year, building on the momentum from his points-scoring debut in 2015.[37] The Sauber C35, powered by Ferrari engines, struggled with competitiveness throughout the year due to development limitations and regulatory changes, leaving the team at the back of the grid for much of the campaign. Nasr contested all 21 races, achieving a best finish of 9th at the Brazilian Grand Prix—his home event at Interlagos—where he capitalized on late-race chaos involving multiple retirements and penalties to secure the position on the 71st lap.[38] This result earned him 2 points, Sauber's only score of the season, and placed him 17th in the final drivers' standings.[39] Despite the car's shortcomings, Nasr demonstrated qualifying strength, reaching Q2 in 11 sessions and occasionally extracting more from the C35 than expected, though teammate Marcus Ericsson held the edge overall with a 13-8 head-to-head advantage in qualifying battles.[40] Notable drives included a recovery from 20th on the grid to 10th at the Austrian Grand Prix, showcasing tire management and overtaking skill on the short Red Bull Ring layout before falling to 13th after a late safety car.[41] At Monaco, Nasr showed pace in the early stages, running as high as 11th before a lap-48 collision with Ericsson at La Rascasse ended both Saubers' races while battling for 14th place.[42] The incident, stemming from team orders for Nasr to yield position amid Ericsson's stronger pace, drew sharp criticism from team principal Monisha Kaltenborn, who described the drivers' actions as "unacceptable" and heightened internal tensions.[43] Nasr's tenure with Sauber concluded at season's end when he was replaced by Pascal Wehrlein for 2017, primarily due to the withdrawal of key sponsorship from Banco do Brasil, which had been crucial to his seating arrangement.[44] Mercedes' backing for Wehrlein, including financial support, tipped the balance in favor of the German driver as Sauber sought to stabilize its finances ahead of engine supplier changes.[45]Other open-wheel racing
Formula E
Following his release from Sauber at the conclusion of the 2016 Formula One season, Felipe Nasr joined GEOX Dragon Racing as a driver for the 2018–19 FIA Formula E Championship, partnering José María López starting from the fourth round in Mexico City, where he replaced Maximilian Günther.[46][47] Nasr had previously tested with the team during the pre-season rookie session in Marrakesh but was unable to participate due to contractual obligations with his IMSA commitments.[48] Nasr's Formula E debut came at the Mexico City ePrix, where he qualified 14th but struggled with pace, finishing 19th after completing only 44 of 45 laps, one lap behind winner Lucas di Grassi.[49][50] In the following Hong Kong ePrix, he qualified 16th but retired on the opening lap after colliding with teammate López, sustaining damage that led him to hit the barriers at Turn 2, triggering a multi-car incident involving Pascal Wehrlein and Jérôme d'Ambrosio; he was classified 19th.[51][52] His third and final appearance was at the Sanya ePrix, where a technical failure left him stranded on the grid at the start, resulting in a did-not-finish and classification of 22nd.[53][54] These outings included two retirements due to incidents and mechanical issues, yielding no points. Nasr ended the season 24th in the drivers' standings with zero points from his three starts.[55] He was replaced by Günther for the Rome ePrix onward due to scheduling conflicts with his sports car racing obligations in IMSA.[56] Nasr has not returned to Formula E competition since this short-term stint, focusing instead on his endurance racing career as part of a broader post-Formula One diversification.[55]IndyCar testing
Felipe Nasr began his involvement with IndyCar testing through Team Penske in 2023, participating in a session at Sebring International Raceway's short course. This initial outing allowed the Brazilian driver to familiarize himself with the DW12 chassis and its handling characteristics on a demanding road course layout.[57] In 2024, Nasr returned for another evaluation at The Thermal Club, where he set the fastest time of the day in the No. 2 Chevrolet, completing over 100 laps and demonstrating strong pace on the 3.2-mile road course. His performance underscored his quick adaptation to the series' universal aero kit and hybrid power unit configurations.[58] Nasr's testing continued into 2025 with a multi-car session at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in October, where he topped the timesheets with a lap of 1:05.715, ahead of drivers including Caio Collet of A.J. Foyt Racing. This test, involving five cars from different teams, highlighted his consistency over 80 laps, positioning him ahead in both morning and afternoon runs.[59][60] These annual evaluations by Team Penske reflect Nasr's ongoing interest in a potential IndyCar debut, though as of November 2025, he has not secured a full-season seat, with his commitments to the IMSA SportsCar Championship taking priority. His results across these road course tests—consistently among the top performers—illustrate adaptability derived from prior open-wheel experience in Formula One and Formula E.[57][60]Sports car racing career
With Cadillac (2018–2021)
Following his stint in Formula E, Nasr shifted his focus to sports car racing in 2018, joining Whelen Engineering Racing as a Cadillac factory driver in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, where he competed in the No. 31 Cadillac DPi-V.R prototype.[8][25] In his rookie season, Nasr partnered with Eric Curran and quickly adapted to the demands of prototype racing and shared driving duties, clinching the Prototype drivers' championship with a victory at the Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix and five podium finishes across 10 races, including runner-up results at the Rolex 24 at Daytona and the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring.[8][25] This success also secured the IMSA Michelin Endurance Cup for the team, highlighting Nasr's rapid transition from single-seaters to the endurance format.[8] For 2019, Nasr moved to a new co-driving pairing with Pipo Derani, finishing second in the WeatherTech DPi drivers' standings with two wins—the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring and the Motul Petit Le Mans—and five podiums in total, demonstrating his growing stamina in multi-hour events.[25][61] The duo repeated as IMSA Michelin Endurance Cup champions, with Nasr's performances underscoring his ability to manage tire wear and fuel strategy in the competitive DPi class. The 2020 season, shortened and reshaped by the COVID-19 pandemic, saw Nasr and Derani secure a win at the Cadillac Grand Prix of Sebring—a sprint race at the circuit—and five podium finishes, including a second-place at the Rolex 24 at Daytona, though they ended eighth in the DPi standings due to mechanical setbacks in other races.[25][12] This year further honed Nasr's endurance expertise, as the compressed schedule demanded consistent high-level performance across sprints and longer events. Nasr and Derani peaked in 2021 by winning the DPi drivers' championship, their first together, with three victories—at Watkins Glen, Road America, and Long Beach—plus additional podiums that established Cadillac's dominance in the class.[8][25] Over these four seasons, Nasr accumulated seven wins and 20 podiums, transforming from a single-seater specialist into a proven prototype endurance racer capable of leading factory programs.[25][12]With Porsche Penske (2022–present)
Felipe Nasr joined Porsche as a factory driver in 2022, contributing to the development of the manufacturer's new 963 LMDh prototype ahead of its competition debut the following year.[9][62] He began racing with the factory-supported Porsche Penske Motorsport team in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship's GTP class in 2023, partnering initially with Dane Cameron in the No. 7 Porsche 963.[63] This move built on his prior endurance racing experience, transitioning him into Porsche's global hybrid prototype program.[3] Nasr's tenure with Porsche Penske has been marked by significant success, including the 2024 IMSA GTP Drivers' Championship, secured alongside Cameron with two race victories that season.[63] Key highlights include a breakthrough overall win at the 2024 Rolex 24 at Daytona, shared with Cameron, Matt Campbell, and Josef Newgarden, marking Porsche's first GTP triumph at the event.[64] In 2023, he claimed victory at Lime Rock Park, contributing to the team's early adaptation of the 963 platform.[8] Over his time with the team through 2025, Nasr has amassed 10 wins and 24 podium finishes in IMSA GTP competition, establishing himself as a cornerstone of Porsche's sports car dominance.[65] These results have helped Porsche secure multiple manufacturer and team titles, with Nasr's efforts underscoring his role in three total IMSA Prototype class championships across his career.[3] The 2025 season saw Nasr pair with Nick Tandy in the No. 7 Porsche 963, delivering three consecutive early victories: the Rolex 24 at Daytona with Tandy and Laurens Vanthoor, the 12 Hours of Sebring with the same co-drivers, and the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach.[66][67][68] This strong start propelled the duo to the IMSA Michelin Endurance Cup Drivers' title and a third-place finish in the overall GTP standings with 2689 points at season's end.[69][70] Nasr also expanded into the FIA World Endurance Championship, making his series debut at the 2025 24 Hours of Le Mans in the No. 4 Porsche 963 alongside Tandy and Pascal Wehrlein.[71][72] His involvement in WEC began in 2023 as part of Porsche's broader factory program, though primarily focused on select endurance events.[62]Personal life
Family background
Luiz Felipe de Oliveira Nasr was born on August 21, 1992, in Brasília, Brazil, to parents Samir and Eliane Nasr, both of Lebanese descent.[73][74] He has an older sister, Flavia Nasr, a successful architect. His family traces its roots to a Lebanese immigrant grandfather who arrived in Brazil in the 1960s, establishing the Nasr lineage in the country.[73] The surname Nasr, derived from Arabic, translates to "victory," reflecting a cultural heritage tied to themes of triumph and support.[75] Nasr grew up in a motorsport-centric environment shaped by his family's deep involvement in racing. His father, Samir, worked as a mechanic and co-owned a local race team alongside Nasr's uncle, Amir Nasr, who was also a go-kart driver and team owner.[11][76] This team achieved success in South American Formula Three and stock car racing, providing young Nasr with constant exposure to the racetrack from an early age.[76] The familial immersion in motorsport directly influenced Nasr's path, leading him to begin karting at age seven and fostering his passion for racing within a supportive Brazilian-Lebanese household.[74] As a Brazilian national, Nasr's heritage blended these cultural influences, with his family's racing endeavors serving as a foundational stepping stone to his professional career.[73]Private interests
Nasr enjoys a variety of hobbies outside of racing, including fishing, cycling, and riding motorcycles, which he pursues during offseasons in his native Brazil.[25] He has also worked with a mindfulness coach for over a decade to manage the mental pressures of high-stakes competition, emphasizing techniques to stay present during intense moments like driving at speeds exceeding 300 km/h.[11] Among his influences, Nasr has long admired Brazilian racing legend Ayrton Senna as his favorite driver, inspired by the three-time world champion's skill and legacy in Formula One.[77] He considers the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps his preferred track due to its unique layout featuring high-speed corners and significant elevation changes that test a driver's precision and bravery.[78] Nasr is multilingual, fluent in Portuguese, English, and Italian, which aids his international career and personal interactions across diverse cultures.[79] His private life remains low-profile, centered on family time in Brasília—shaped by his Lebanese-Brazilian heritage—without prominent involvement in philanthropy or business ventures as of 2025.[73]Racing record
