Sergio Canamasas Español (born 30 April 1986) is a retired racing driver from Spain.
Formula Three
Canamasas entered formula racing in 2007, competing in the Spanish Formula Three Championship with Cetea Sport. Racing in the secondary Copa de España category, which featured older Dallara F300 cars, he achieved one class podium at Barcelona and concluded the season eighth overall. The following year, in 2008, he progressed to the main category with the same team but failed to earn any points across fourteen events.
In 2009, he remained in the series, now renamed the European F3 Open Championship, driving for Emiliodevillota.com. He secured sixth place in the overall standings, with podium finishes at Jarama, Jerez, and Barcelona.
Formula Renault 3.5 Series
During March 2010, Canamasas took part in all three pre-season tests for the Formula Renault 3.5 Series held at Barcelona, Jerez, and Motorland Aragón. He tested for Fortec Motorsport, ISR Racing, and SG Formula. Shortly before the season began, he was announced as a driver for the newly formed FHV Interwetten.com team alongside Bruno Méndez, the reigning European F3 Open champion. Despite completing all sixteen races as a full-time competitor, Canamasas did not score points and recorded a best result of 14th place at Magny–Cours.
Following off-season testing with multiple squads, Canamasas signed with BVM-Target for the 2011 Formula Renault 3.5 Series campaign. Partnering fellow second-year driver Daniel Zampieri, he finished eighth in the championship standings. His highlights included a third-place podium and a pole position at the Hungaroring.
GP2 Series
Canamasas began 2012 without a confirmed seat but was later signed by Lazarus to compete from the eighth round of the GP2 Series season onward, replacing Fabrizio Crestani and joining Giancarlo Serenelli. Over ten races, he did not accumulate any points. In 2014, he moved to Trident Racing and secured his first GP2 podium by finishing third in the Monaco sprint race. However, during the sprint race at Monza later that year, he was disqualified for dangerous driving that resulted in several retirements, including that of teammate Johnny Cecotto Jr.
