Felipe Nasr

Born in Brasília, Distrito Federal, Nasr began karting in Brazil when he was seven years old. Between 2000 and 2007 he won several championship titles in Brazil.{{cite news |date=27 August 2009 |title=Introducing Luiz Felipe Nasr |work=Autosport |volume=197 |issue=9 |page=59}}

;2008

Nasr made his open-wheel racing debut in the final round of the 2008 Formula BMW Americas season at Interlagos, which supported the 2008 Brazilian Grand Prix, claiming a podium finish in the second race in a championship that was dominated by Alexander Rossi.

;2009

Nasr moved to the European championship of Formula BMW in 2009 for EuroInternational. He finished 14 of the 16 races in the top two, won 6 races, 5 pole-positions and claimed the title by 104 points from teammate Daniel Juncadella. As the championship was held by BMW, linked to Sauber in that season, Nasr was called to test a Sauber F1 car, but with BMW leaving F1, the test did not happen.

For the 2010, Nasr moved into the British Formula 3 Championship with Räikkönen Robertson Racing, joining a three-car team alongside the team's 2009 drivers Carlos Huertas and Daisuke Nakajima.{{cite news |editor-last=Freeman |editor-first=Glenn |date=14 January 2010 |title=Pit & Paddock: Nasr lands Double R British F3 seat |journal=Autosport |volume=199 |issue=2 |page=25}} In addition to signing for the team, Nasr signed to Robertson Management, the organisation that manages the career of former Formula One World Drivers' Champion Kimi Räikkönen.

;2011

Nasr signed with Carlin Motorsport for the 2011 Championship and won the Sunoco Rolex 24 at Daytona Challenge, a special joint racing programme among series in the United Kingdom that use Sunoco Racing Fuel. The winner of that challenge won a drive in the 2012 Rolex 24 at Daytona. He was third in the Daytona 24 Hour.[https://web.archive.org/web/20120402080152/http://www.sunocodaytonachallenge.com/Sunocodaytonachallenge/Challenge_News/Entries/2011/9/5_Nasr_Wins_Formula_3_Championship_and_Maintains_Challenge_Lead.html Sunoco Daytona Challenge – September 5, Nasr wins Formula 3 Championship and Maintains Challenge Lead]

Nasr claimed the title of the 2011 British Formula 3 season, 123 points ahead of his teammate, Kevin Magnussen.

In the 2012 Rolex 24 at Daytona, Nasr finished third overall and in class, driving a second generation Riley prototype for Michael Shank Racing.

Nasr signed with DAMS to race in the 2012 GP2 Series season with the support of Brazilian sponsors Banco do Brasil and Eike Batista's OGX.{{cite news |last=Elizalde |first=Pablo |title=British F3 champion Felipe Nasr will race in GP2 with DAMS |publisher=Haymarket Publications |work=autosport.com |url=http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/97540 |date=16 February 2012 |access-date=16 February 2012}} Nasr's best results were a 2nd place in Race 2 of the Belgian round and a 4th place in Race 1 of the German round. He was teamed with the experienced Davide Valsecchi, who won the drivers' championship; Nasr's tenth place in the standings meant DAMS won the teams' championship as well. He took four podium finishes, with a best finish of second at Spa, and was the second highest-placed rookie overall, behind James Calado.

;2013

For the 2013 GP2 Series season Nasr moved to Carlin, partnering British Jolyon Palmer. Nasr believed that he would be a title contender, alongside James Calado and Marcus Ericsson, and hoped to be driving an F1 car at the end of the year. Nasr finished the 2013 campaign 4th overall in the standings.

Nasr remained with Carlin for the 2014 season, partnering Colombian Julián Leal.

His finishing streak ended at the {{F1 GP|2015|British}} when his gearbox failed on the way to the grid. In Japan, for the first time, he failed to finish, as he had a mechanical failure on lap 51; he was classified in 20th place. Nasr finished his début season with 27 points, finishing 13th in the drivers' championship.{{cite web |url=http://www.fia.com/events/formula-1-world-championship/season-2015/2015-classifications |title=2015 Classifications – 2015 Drivers |work=FIA.com |publisher=Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile |access-date=29 December 2015}} After a successful 2015 season, Sauber retained Nasr for 2016.{{Cite web |title=Sauber retains Nasr, Ericsson for 2016 F1 season |url=https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/sauber-retains-nasr-ericsson-for-2016-f1-season/622731/ |access-date=2021-04-10 |website=www.motorsport.com |date=23 July 2015 |language=en}}

Nasr's—and Sauber's—only points in 2016 came at the Brazilian Grand Prix, where he finished ninth. The finish allowed Sauber to overtake Manor in the constructors' championship, which cost the latter team prize money and eventually led to Manor's bankruptcy.{{Cite web |title=Top Stories of 2017, #13: Manor disappears from the F1 grid |url=https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/top-stories-of-2017-manor-goes-under-989350/1384002/ |access-date=2022-10-29 |website=www.motorsport.com |date=19 December 2017 |language=en}} Ironically, this meant Nasr was left without a seat for the 2017 season as he was due to swap places with Manor driver Pascal Wehrlein and could not find another seat after the Manor team exited the sport.{{cite web |title=Sauber F1 Team |url=http://www.sauberf1team.com/news/pascal-wehrlein-joins-sauber-for-2017-season |access-date=17 January 2017 |work=sauberf1team.com |archive-date=6 August 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170806020743/https://www.sauberf1team.com/news/pascal-wehrlein-joins-sauber-for-2017-season |url-status=dead }}

At his second race in Hong Kong, he crashed his car into the wall early in the race, taking out the two Mahindra cars of Pascal Wehrlein & Jerome d'Ambrosio in the process. At his third race in Sanya he stalled on the grid & recorded his second successive DNF. Nasr has not returned to Formula E since, ending his run at three consecutive races with one non-points finish and two DNFs, as the team opted to continue using Günther moving forward. He was classified 24th overall in the championship, tied on 0 points with Tom Dillmann & Felix Rosenqvist.

On 10 March 2020, it was announced Nasr was scheduled to make his IndyCar debut for Carlin at the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg.{{Cite web |url=https://www.indycar.com/News/2020/03/03-10-Carlin-Nasr |title=Carlin confirms Nasr for St. Petersburg race |language=en |publisher=IndyCar.com |date=March 10, 2020 |access-date=March 11, 2020}} However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the race was postponed until October, putting his debut on hold.
