Enrique Bernoldi
Enrique Antônio Langue e Silvério de Bernoldi (born 19 October 1978 in Curitiba) is a Brazilian professional racing driver who raced for the Arrows Formula One team in 2001 and 2002, and was the test driver for BAR Honda between 2004 and 2006. He entered IndyCar racing in 2008, and competed in the FIA GT World Championship between 2009 and 2011, in addition to entering multiple other competitions.
Bernoldi started out in karting in 1986, and won many regional and national titles, before heading to Europe at age 16 to begin his car racing career. He entered the Formula Alfa Boxer series in Italy, where he finished fourth in his first race. Following a successful single entry in the Championnat de France Formule Renault, Bernoldi then entered the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 and won on his debut, the final round of the series. The following year he took in nine victories and the title, before entering British Formula 3 with the Promatecme team in 1997. Bernoldi took his first victory at Spa en route to fifth in the championship, and also finished third at that year's Macau Grand Prix. He remained with Promatecme for 1998 to take six more victories, but was only able to finish runner-up to compatriot Mario Haberfeld.
In 1999, Bernoldi progressed to the International Formula 3000 championship with the Red Bull Junior Team. Although his debut season only resulted in two points, he was retained by the team for the following year. Due to the team's links with Sauber, he tested for the Formula 1 team in both seasons, in addition to also testing for the Prost GP team in 2000. Although touted before the start of the 2001 season to be joining either Prost,Minardi or Sauber, Bernoldi instead signed a contract with Arrows, a move that was seen as surprising by some.
