There have been 33 Formula One drivers who have represented Brazil, including three world champions. Ayrton Senna, the three-time title winner, is regarded as one of the greatest drivers in the history of Formula One. Nelson Piquet also won the title three times and Emerson Fittipaldi was a two-time winner. Rubens Barrichello, who used to hold the record for the most races contested with 322 starts, finished as the championship runner-up in two seasons. Following the retirement of Felipe Massa after the 2017 season, in 2018 there were no Brazilian drivers entered for the World Championship, the first time this had occurred since 1969. Gabriel Bortoleto joined Sauber for the 2025 season, becoming the 33rd Brazilian Formula One driver after four seasons' absence of Brazilian drivers.
