'''Gianni Morbidelli''' (born [[January 13]], [[1968]] in [[Pesaro]]<ref name="WATN">{{cite web |url=http://www.oldracingcars.com/bydriver/watn.asp?letter=M |title= The World Championship drivers - Where are they now? |accessdate=2007-07-29 |last=Jenkins |first=Richard |publisher=OldRacingCars.com}}</ref>) is a [[racing driver]] from [[Italy]]. He currently competes in the [[Speedcar Series]]. Morbidelli participated in 70 [[Formula One]] Grands Prix, debuting on [[March 11]], [[1990]]. He achieved one podium, and scored a total of 8.5 championship points. 

==Formula 3==
Morbidelli was Italian [[Formula 3]] and Formula 3 European Cup champion in 1989. 

==Formula 3000==
After doing the first 2 races of the {{F1|1990}} F1 season for [[Dallara]], Morbidelli concentrated on [[International Formula 3000|Formula 3000]]. He won 1 race and finished 5th in the 1990 championship. He also was the test driver for [[Scuderia Ferrari|Ferrari]] that year <ref>[http://www.teamdan.com/archive/1991/octobe91.html October 1991 Information<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>. 

==Formula One==
Once the {{F1|1990}} season had finished, Morbidelli did the final two races of the F1 season with [[Minardi]], where he remained until the end of {{F1|1992}}, with the exception of the [[1991 Australian Grand Prix]], in which he was drafted in after [[Alain Prost]] left the Ferrari team. Morbidelli scored a half-point for 6th in a shortened wet race.

He joined [[Footwork Arrows|Footwork]] for {{F1|1994}} after a year away. He scored 8 points in two years with the team, including a 3rd place finish in the [[1995 Australian Grand Prix]], a race of high attrition. His points total made him the most successful driver in the history of the [[Footwork]] team. 

A few mid-season races for [[Sauber]] in {{F1|1997}} were unsuccessful and Gianni suffered two injuries through separate testing accidents. He never raced in Formula One afterwards.

==Post-Formula One==

[[Image:Gianni Morbidelli 1998 BTCC.jpg|thumb|right|Morbidelli driving for [[Volvo]] in the [[1998 British Touring Car Championship season|1998]] [[British Touring Car Championship]].]]

In 1998 he drove for [[Volvo]] in the [[British Touring Car Championship]] (BTCC), but was not competitive as team-mate [[Rickard Rydell]] won the title. His only competitive showing was in the summer meeting at [[Thruxton]], where he charged from near the back of the back to finish fourth, passing many cars in the process. More recently he has competed in the [[European Touring Car Championship]] (ETCC) and [[World Touring Car Championship]] (WTCC) for [[Alfa Romeo in motorsport|Alfa Romeo]], and had outings in several GT championships.

His touring car career seemed to be blighted by a lack of prowess in front-wheel drive machinery, as he had many competitive showings and race wins when racing rear-wheel drive [[BMW]] cars.

Gianni Morbidelli is the son of Giancarlo Morbidelli, the founder of [[Morbidelli]] motorcycle company which had success in [[Grand Prix motorcycle racing]]. In 2008 Gianni Morbidelli is driving in the [[ADAC GT Masters]] together with Dennis Retera a [[Lamborghini Gallardo]] GT3 with Team "Flatex-Reiter".
