Luca Badoer (born 25 January 1971) is an Italian former racing driver.
Badoer has competed for the Scuderia Italia, Minardi, Forti Corse, and, most recently, Ferrari teams.
Badoer, a former racer who served in 1998-2010 and 2009, served as an observer and reserve driver for Ferrari's regular race driver Felipe Massa during qualifying for the Hungarian Grand Prix and the Belgian Grand Prix, but his replacement, Michael Schumacher, was forced to withdraw due to injury. Badoer holds the most Grand Prix starts (50) and the most race laps completed (2364) without scoring a single point, though most of his races prior to his 2009 comeback came during a period in which only the top six finishers earned points.
He would have scored 26 points in his career if he had been under the 2010 scoring system.
He nearly made it to fourth place in the 1999 European Grand Prix thanks to a strong push, but his Minardi's gearbox suffered with 13 laps remaining.
Personal life
Badoer is married and has two children, Rocco and Brando. Brando debuted in the WSK karting series in 2017.
Early career
Badoer was born in Montebelluna, Veneto, Italy. In his youth, he competed karts, winning two titles and almost every one. Badoer competed in the 100cc category in 1986, winning the Venice national champion the following year. In 1988, he won the Italian championship in the 100cc international class.
Badoer converted from single-seater racing in 1989, when he joined the Trivellato team in the Italian Formula Three Championship driving a Dallara/Alfa Romeo. He joined the MRD team in 1990 and spent the remainder of his time in the MRD team. He rode a Ralt RT33 Alfa Romeo, defeating Alex Zanardi and Roberto Colciago to win the 1990 season's final race and placing 10th in the championship. He went to the Supercars team in 1991, winning four races in succession, but was disqualified due to a mechanical problem with his tyres. Badoer came in 4th overall in the championship, receiving 33 points. Badoer earned his nickname in 1992 for his first appearance in the Formula 3000 Championship, where he was chosen to drive for Crypton Engineering. Badoer won four races, including a dominating display at Perpetu, where he came in 21 seconds ahead of Emanuele Naspetti. Badoer was one of the first four drivers to win the Formula 3000 championship at the first attempt despite battling Rubens Barrichello and David Coulthard (the others being Stefano Modena in 1987, Christian Fittipaldi in 1991 and Jörg Müller in 1996). En route to the title, the team won four races.
