Giorgio Mondini (born July 19, 1980) is a retired Italo-Swiss racing driver whose most recent competition was in the 2018 European Le Mans Series. He claimed the title in the 2004 Formula Renault V6 Eurocup and was a test driver for the Formula One team Midland.

Formula Renault

Mondini entered professional racing at the age of 20, notably without prior karting experience, concluding his debut season 26th in the Formula Renault 2000 Eurocup while driving for Jenzer Motorsport. The following year, he improved his standing to 17th with the same outfit.

In 2003, he switched to EuroInternational for the 2003 Formula Renault V6 Eurocup season, securing seventh place overall. The next year, Mondini captured the championship by winning three races, earning three pole positions, and achieving eight podium finishes. In 2005, he began competing in the Formula Renault 3.5 Series before transitioning to GP2. After completing his GP2 campaign, he returned to the Formula Renault 3.5 finale with Carlin Motorsport, substituting for Will Power, but retired from both events and ended up 24th in the championship.

GP2 Series

Mondini entered the GP2 in 2005 with DPR, taking over from Ryan Sharp. During that season, he did not accumulate any points and remained unclassified in the final rankings. Simultaneously, he represented the Swiss squad in the 2005-06 A1GP season alongside teammate Neel Jani, finishing as runners-up.

Formula One

As a reward for winning the Formula Renault V6 championship, Mondini tested a Formula One Renault R25 car in December 2005. In 2016, he acted as a third driver for Midland F1 Racing, participating in tests at nine out of eighteen races. Additionally, on February 20, 2011, he conducted an F1 test session with Hispania Racing in Barcelona.

Prototypes

In 2009, Mondini shifted focus to prototype racing, competing in the Le Mans Series and making his debut at the 24 Hours of Le Mans with Kolles driving an Audi R10 TDI LMP1 car, finishing ninth overall.

After stepping away for four years, he returned in 2015 to contest the Italian Prototype Challenge. He began in the CN4 category with Audisio & Benvenuto before moving to CN2 class with EuroInternational. That season saw him win nine out of eleven races and secure seven pole positions en route to clinching the championship.

The following year, Mondini raced for EuroInternational in the European Le Mans Series, competing in LMP3. He achieved a class runner-up finish at the 4 Hours of Imola but retired from other events, concluding the season twelfth overall. Continuing with EuroInternational in 2017, he earned his first class victory at the 4 Hours of Red Bull Ring and finished seventh in the championship standings.

Returning again in 2018 alongside teammate Kay van Berlo, Mondini attained a third-place finish at the 4 Hours of Le Castellet and recorded a class win at the 4 Hours of Monza. The team once more ended seventh overall.
