About Norberto Fontana

  • Norberto Edgardo Fontana (born 20 January 1975) is an Argentine racing driver.
  • He participated in four Formula One Grands Prix, debuting on 29 June 1997 but scoring no championship points. His opportunity to race came as a result of two separate injuries sustained by regular Sauber driver Gianni Morbidelli during the 1997 season.
  • During the 1997 European Grand Prix, Fontana had gained attention for apparently blocking Jacques Villeneuve to let rival Michael Schumacher pull away from the Canadian.
  • He attempted to enter with the Tyrrell team for 1998 but was dropped in favour for Brazilian Ricardo Rosset and with Minardi for 2000.
  • In between his time in F1, Fontana raced in Formula Nippon.
