Adriano Buzaid (born July 5, 1988) is a professional racing driver from Brazil.
Formula Ford
Following his success as a finalist in the Stock Car Junior selections organized by IndyCar driver Tony Kanaan, Buzaid relocated to the United Kingdom to participate in the 2006 British Formula Ford Championship with Eau Rouge Motorsport. He concluded the season in eleventh place overall, highlighted by a victory at Rockingham.
Formula Renault
In late 2006, Buzaid competed in the Formula Renault 2.0 UK Winter Series with AKA Lemac, preparing for his full 2007 season. Alongside teammates Adam Christodoulou and Jon Lancaster, he finished seventh in the standings, achieving a best finish of second at Croft. The following year, Buzaid joined Eucatex for the main Formula Renault UK series, where he earned two podium finishes and ended the championship in 13th position. He then took part in another winter series with Fortec Motorsport, again placing seventh and winning the final race at Croft.
Remaining with Fortec Motorsport for the 2008 season, Buzaid secured six pole positions, recorded five fastest laps, and won five races, ultimately finishing third in the championship rankings. Notably, he was one of only four drivers—including Alexander Sims, Oliver Webb, and Kieren Clark—to complete every race that season.
Formula Three
After Andrew Meyrick's season was cut short due to illness, Buzaid stepped in to join Carlin Motorsport for the last round of the British Formula 3 Championship at Donington Park, where he finished third overall and fourth within his class, earning 22 points.
Buzaid progressed to the International Class for the 2009 British Formula 3 season with T-Sport, partnering with 2008 British Formula Ford champion Wayne Boyd. Following Boyd’s victory at Donington Park, Buzaid claimed his first win and pole position at Spa. Despite this strong performance, he managed only ten points over the final six races and ended the season sixth overall.
In the 2010 British Formula 3 season, Buzaid returned to Carlin, finishing fourth in the championship. Demonstrating strong form in the latter stages of the series, he achieved seven podiums across nine races, including wins at Silverstone and Snetterton. Additionally, he secured two pole positions and set one lap record during this period.
