Career
Born in Braslia, Distrito Federal, Nasr began karting in Brazil when he was seven years old. He won several national titles in Brazil between 2000 and 2007.
Nasr made his open-wheel racing debut in the second round of the 2008 Formula BMW Americas season at Interlagos, which sponsored the 2008 Brazilian Grand Prix, winning a podium finish in the second race in a sport dominated by Alexander Rossi.
Nasr won the European Championship of Formula BMW in 2009, but the Euro International won a new series. He finished 14 of the top ten races in the top two, collected 6 championships, 5 pole-positions, and took the trophy by 104 points from teammate Daniel Juncadella. Nasr was expected to put a Sauber F1 car into the championship held by BMW, which was linked to Sauber in that season, but the test was not carried out by BMW.
Nasr entered the British Formula 3 Championship with Räikkönen Robertson Racing, forming a three-car team with 2009 drivers Carlos Huertas and Daisuke Nakajima. Nasr also signed to Robertson Management, the company that oversees the career of former Formula One world champion Kimi Räikkönen. Nasr came in 5th position in the 2010 British Formula 3 season.
Nasr won the Sunoco Rolex 24 at Daytona Challenge in 2011, a unique joint racing program among a string of series in the United Kingdom that use Sunoco Racing Fuel. In the 2012 Rolex 24 at Daytona, the winner of the challenge received a drive. In the Daytona 24 Hours, he came third. Nasr claimed the 2011 British Formula 3 title, 123 points ahead of his coworker, Kevin Magnussen.
Nasr finished third overall and in class in the 2012 Rolex 24 at Daytona, driving a second generation Riley prototype for Michael Shank Racing.
Nasr has contracted DAMS to compete in the 2012 GP2 Series series with the help of Brazilian sponsors Banco do Brasil and Eike Batista's OGX. Nasr's best results in Race 2 of the Belgian round came in second place, and fourth in Race 1 of the German round. He was partnered with veteran Davide Valsecchi, who won the drivers' championship, but Nasr's tenth place in the standings ensured the teams' championship was won as well. He had four podium appearances, including a best finish at Spa, and was the second highest-placed rookie overall, behind James Calado.
Nasr moved to Carlin for the 2013 GP2 Series, partnering British Jolyon Palmer. Nasr, James Calado and Marcus Ericsson, and Peter Ericsson predicted he'd be a championship contender, and he hoped to be driving an F1 car at the end of the year. Nasr's 2013 campaign placed 4th overall in the standings.
Nasr stayed with Carlin for the 2014 season, partnering Colombian Julián Leal. In the sprint race in Barcelona, he won for the first time in GP2. He has won the Red Bull Ring, Silverstone, and Spa-Francorchamps. Throughout the season, he was involved in a championship brawl with former teammate Jolyon Palmer, but losing in Russia. Nasr placed third overall after losing second place by five points to rookie Stoffel Vandoorne at Yas Marina.
Nasr was announced on February 22, 2014, that the team's reserve driver would be joining Williams as the team's reserve driver, and he appeared in three tests and five free practice sessions throughout the season. Valtteri Bottas was his first appearance in the Bahrain Grand Prix in first practice.
Nasr will drive for Sauber in 2015, according to the company's news on November 5th. Nasr finished in fifth place in his first race with the team in Australia, the highest placing for a Brazilian driver debuting in a Grand Prix. His finishing streak came to an end at the British Grand Prix after his gearbox failed on the way to the grid. He failed to finish in Japan on lap 51 for the first time; he was ranked in 20th place. Nasr earned 27 points in his debut season and finished 13th in the drivers' championship, placing 13th. Sauber retained Nasr for 2016 after a fruitful 2015 season.
Nasr's—and Sauber's—only points in 2016 came at the Brazilian Grand Prix, where he ranked ninth, and Sauber's—only points. Sauber defeated Manor in the constructors' championship, but the latter team lost money and eventually led to Manor's bankruptcy. Nasr was supposed to change places with Manor driver Pascal Wehrlein in the 2017 season, but Nasr was left without a drive due to Manor's withdrawal from the sport, which he had ostensibly caused by his own racing.
Nasr took part in the first test in Marrakesh in January 2019, but he was unable to participate due to contractual constraints. Nasr would recall Maximilian Günther from the Mexico City ePrix onwards the following month. Günther had to return to his seat at the 2019 Rome ePrix temporarily due to Nasr's IMSA commitments. He made his debut at the 2019 Mexico City ePrix, finishing in 19th place in 19th place and notably at the back of the pack for the bulk of the competition. He crashed his car into the wall early in the race, taking out the two Mahindra cars of Pascal Wehrlein & Jerome d'Ambrosio. He stalled on the grid in his third race in Sanya and posted his second consecutive DNF. Nasr hasn't returned to Formula E since crashing in three straight races with just one non-point finish and two DNFs, with the team opting to keep using Günther going forward. He was ranked 24th overall in the championship, tied on 0 points with Tom Dillmann and Felix Rosenqvist.
Nasr's IndyCar debut for Carlin at the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg on March 10, 2020. However, the run was postponed until October, putting his debut on hold due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Nasr did not participate in the season, in the long run.
Nasr tested positive for COVID-19 in July 2020. He missed the round at Daytona but recovered to full fitness and returned to action in the next round of Sebring, starting from pole position and winning the race.
