Stefano Coletti (born 6 April 1989) is a Monégasque former racing driver best known for a successful GP2 Series career, in which he won seven races, before chasing a long-held dream of racing in IndyCar.
GP2 Series
Coletti made his GP2 debut in 2009 at Valencia, standing in for Davide Valsecchi at Durango. He returned in 2011 with Trident Racing, taking a sprint-race win at Yas Marina in the GP2 Asia series on his way to fourth in those standings, and opening the main series strongly with a sprint win at Istanbul Park. His standout moment came in 2013, when he won at the Monaco street circuit — becoming the first Monaco driver to do so since Louis Chiron in 1931. Over his GP2 years he established himself as a consistent race-winner.
IndyCar and beyond
Coletti left GP2 after 2014 to pursue IndyCar, joining KV Racing for a full 2015 season. He was set to become the first Monaco-native to contest the Indianapolis 500 since Louis Chiron in 1929, but struggled to find a foothold in the series and lost his drive at the end of the year. He later raced in sportscars, including SMP Racing's BR01 LMP2 car in the European Le Mans Series.
Formula 2
The grounding lists Coletti with Campos Racing in 2017 FIA Formula 2. Reporting from the period confirms he was announced for the opening 2017 F2 round in Bahrain with Campos, a brief one-off return after the series had been rebranded from GP2.
