Matteo Nannini (born 10 July 2003) is a racing driver of Italian-Argentine descent who most recently participated in the Indy NXT championship representing Juncos Hollinger Racing.
Karting
Starting his karting journey at the age of six, Nannini amassed several championship titles. In 2015, he became part of Fernando Alonso's karting team and triumphed in Italy's Trofeo dei Campioni.
Formula 4
During the 2019 Formula 4 UAE Championship, Nannini distinguished himself by securing seven victories and clinching the championship with a 48-point lead over competitor Joshua Dürksen.
2020
In his sophomore year competing in single-seaters, Nannini advanced to the FIA Formula 3 Championship driving for Jenzer Motorsport. He faced challenges early on but earned his initial points at Round 6 in Barcelona by finishing tenth in Race 1, which granted him reverse-grid pole position. He subsequently achieved his only podium finish with a third place in Race 2. Following this, he did not score further points and completed the season ranked 18th overall, accumulating 11 points.
2021
Nannini returned for the 2021 season with HWA Racelab, showing progress by qualifying fourth in Barcelona and contending for victory before a collision forced him to retire. He bounced back with a third-place finish in Race 3. At Spielberg, while fighting for the lead, he was involved in another collision and ended up 23rd. His first F3 win came at Budapest during Race 2 after overtaking key opponents early in the race. With only one additional points finish afterward, he concluded the year 14th overall with 44 points, emerging as HWA’s highest-ranked driver.
2022
For the second mid-season test at Barcelona, Nannini joined ART Grand Prix, stepping in for the injured Juan Manuel Correa. However, he was not retained for the subsequent Imola round, where ART fielded just two cars.
FIA Formula 2 Championship
Originally planning to compete simultaneously in both FIA Formula 3 and Formula 2 during 2021 with HWA Racelab, alongside teammate Alessio Deledda, Nannini shifted exclusively to Formula 3 after losing sponsorship for F2. Consequently, Williams Academy racer Jack Aitken took his place for Monaco and Baku events. Later in the season, Nannini returned to Formula 2 with Campos Racing for races at Baku and Silverstone following Gianluca Petecof’s exit.
Stock car racing
In March 2022, Team Stange Racing announced their comeback to the ARCA Menards Series entering car No. 46 with Nannini signed for the Mid-Ohio race, marking his debut in stock car competition. Nevertheless, the team ultimately did not participate in that event.
Indy NXT
Nannini resumed full-time competition in 2023 driving for Juncos Hollinger Racing within the 2023 Indy NXT. On July 18, 2023, both parties agreed to end their collaboration in INDY NXT by mutual consent.
Personal life
His father is a first cousin to former Formula One competitor Alessandro Nannini and singer-songwriter Gianna Nannini.
