Career Lower formulas In 2018, Petecof made his single-seater racing debut in the Italian and ADAC Formula 4 Championships. The former would be more successful for Petecof, with one win and four further podiums helping him to fifth in the standings, meanwhile the Brazilian only scored one podium in ADAC F4 on his way to tenth.

The next year, Petecof continued racing in both Italy and Germany. He won four races and became vice-champion in the Italian series, 136 points behind Dennis Hauger. In ADAC F4 Petecof achieved one victory and finished fifth.

Formula Regional European Championship

In 2020, Prema Powerteam announced that Petecof would drive for them in the Formula Regional European Championship alongside Jamie Chadwick, Oliver Rasmussen and fellow Ferrari Academy member Arthur Leclerc. Petecof started the season strongly, amassing four victories in the first three rounds. Despite his strong start to the season, Leclerc was able to keep the championship battle going until the last race of the season at Vallelunga, where Petecof was crowned both rookies' and series champion.

FIA Formula 2 Championship

It was announced in early February that Petecof would join Campos for the 2021 FIA F2 Championship. He lined up alongside Ralph Boschung. In June, he left the team, citing financial reasons.

Formula One In December 2017, Ferrari added Petecof to their Driver Academy. In January 2021, Petecof announced he had left the academy.

Stock Car Brasil In 2022, Petecof raced in the Stock Car Brasil with Full Time Sports. He would partner ex-Formula 1 race winner Rubens Barrichello.
