Matteo Bobbi (born 2 July 1978 in Milan) is an Italian racing driver with experience in several motor sport categories, including three years as a Minardi test driver in Formula One.[1]
Bobbi began racing karts in 1995 and progressed to Formula Renault in 1998, where he finished on the podium several times. He tested a Formula One car for Minardi in 2000, and became their official test driver the following year. Also that year, he competed in the Spanish Formula Nissan Championship, in which he won at Valencia. He won six races in 2002, finishing as runner-up in the championship standings.
Bobbi and Davide Valsecchi, who are currently working as Formula One commentators for Sky Italia, were temporarily suspended by the company for making sexist remarks during an on-air post-race analysis of the 2023 Spanish Grand Prix.[3]
