Alessio Deledda

Alessio Deledda (born 10 December 1994) is an Italian racing driver. He currently competes in the 2025 GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup with Vincenzo Sospiri Racing. Deledda previously raced in the International GT Open and the DTM.

Early career Beginnings Deledda was born in Genzano di Roma. He did not start in karting like most racing drivers. Among other things, he participated in the Italian Superstock 600 motorcycle championship in 2017. After little success, he switched to auto racing in 2018 and made his Formula 4 debut in the Italian F4 Championship, racing for Technorace, an Italian team dedicated to bringing drivers up the junior ranks.

Deledda struggled through his debut season and scored no points. With 17th place at Monza as his best result, he finished in 39th place in the championship, and only 16th among the rookie drivers.

FIA Formula 3 Championship 2019 In 2019, Deledda started the season in the winter championship of the Euroformula Open Championship, where he drove for Campos Racing. The two-races took place solely at Circuit Paul Ricard, and Deledda finished the races in eighth and ninth place. Subsequently, he made the switch to the new FIA Formula 3 Championship, in which he also drove for Campos. Deledda had a rough debut Formula 3 season, and finished 29th.

2020 Despite this, Deledda was retained for the 2020 F3 season, and partnered 2019 teammates Alex Peroni and German Sophia Flörsch. By the conclusion of his second season in Formula 3, his best finish had been 16th place, while all of his other finishes across several dozen races had been 20th or lower.

FIA Formula 2 Championship

On January 22, 2021, Deledda was announced to be signing for HWA Racelab in Formula 2, partnering fellow countryman Matteo Nannini.

At the second round of the season in Monaco, Deledda qualified 6.8 seconds slower than polesitter Théo Pourchaire, which was outside of the 107% rule. Despite this, he was given permission to start the races from 22nd and last place on the grid. He finished the season 25th in the driver's championship standings, with no points scored, whereas even Mahaveer Raghunathan scored one point who Deledda was usually compared with as "the worst Formula 2 driver".

Sportscar career

DTM (2022–2023) For the 2022 season, Deledda left single-seaters to join the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters, driving a Lamborghini Huracán GT3 Evo for Grasser Racing. He scored his only point of the campaign during the final race at Hockenheim and finished 26th in the standings. thumb Deledda took part in the 24 Hours of Daytona at the start of 2023, competing for NTE Sport in the GTD category.

Deledda's main campaign would once again lie in the DTM, where he teamed up with Mirko Bortolotti and Franck Perera at SSR Performance. With a best race finish of 18th, the Italian ended up 32nd in the standings, failing to score points throughout the year.

International GT Open (2024) For the 2024 season, Deledda entered the International GT Open as part of the Oregon Team, driving alongside Lamborghini factory driver Jordan Pepper. At the second round in Hockenheim, Deledda was able to inherit second place following Pepper's stint, before passing Anthony Bartone to take his first win in GT3 competition. Subsequently, Deledda and Pepper finished second in the IGTO's endurance event at Spa, before following up with points finishes in Hungary and a podium at Le Castellet. Deledda and Pepper claimed victory in race 1 at Spielberg, with Pepper driving out a lead from pole position and Deledda consolidating the advantage in drizzly conditions. More points followed in the subsequent three races, and Deledda went into the final round at Monza equal on points with the championship-leading Eastalent Racing crew. However, the team suffered a late puncture while behind the Eastalent car in the closing stages of the race, confirming Deledda's runner-up spot in the standings.

GT World Challenge Europe and Italian GT (2025) Deledda raced in both the Silver Cup of the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup, as well as the Italian GT Championship Sprint Cup, during 2025. Despite scoring a class pole at the opening round of the Endurance Cup season, Deledda finished 27th in the championship standings. In the Italian series, he ended up 11th overall in the latter with a best race result of fourth.

McLaren affiliation In April 2026, it was announced that Deledda would become a McLaren GT3 Junior driver, which included campaigns in the Italian GT Championship Endurance Cup and McLaren Trophy Europe.

Controversy On 26 November 2020, Deledda caused a stir after publishing several videos on his Instagram profile of himself driving recklessly and with high speed on an Italian motorway near Pomezia, Lazio. In one of the videos he slalomed around many cars during a traffic jam, and in another video he filmed the dashboard of his own car reaching 300 km/h in the process. A third video showed a point-of-view shot driving a Lamborghini Urus on a public road, reaching again around 200 km/h while driving with one arm on the steering wheel. Deledda was criticized by former F1 driver Giedo van der Garde, along with a handful of other notable F1 personalities.

Deledda posted a statement in Italian on his Twitter on November 27, saying that he's sorry they associated the video with his name and that his intent was and will always be to "raise awareness" among his followers about "similar acts of villainy". He went on to say that his mistake was "probably not to specify that it was an act of complaint".
