'''Riccardo Gabriele Patrese''' (born 17 April 1954) is an Italian former [[racing driver]], who competed in [[Formula One]] from {{F1|1977}} to {{F1|1993}}. Patrese was runner-up in the [[Formula One World Drivers' Championship]] in {{F1|1992}} with [[Williams Racing|Williams]], and won six [[Formula One Grands Prix|Grands Prix]] across 17 seasons.

He became the first Formula One driver to achieve 200 Grand Prix starts when he appeared at the [[1990 British Grand Prix]], and then became the first to achieve 250 starts at the [[1993 German Grand Prix]]. For 19 years, he held [[List of Formula One driver records#Total starts|the record for the most Formula One Grand Prix starts]], with 256 races from 257 entries. As of the end of the {{F1|2023}} season he is the [[List of Formula One driver records#Total entries|tenth-most experienced F1 driver in history]]. At the age of 38 he was runner-up to [[Nigel Mansell]] in the [[1992 Formula One World Championship]], and third in {{F1|1989}} and {{F1|1991}}. He won six Grands Prix, including the [[1982 Monaco Grand Prix]], with a record gap of over six years between two of these – the [[1983 South African Grand Prix]] and [[1990 San Marino Grand Prix]].<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.kyrosports.com/riccardo-patrese-f1-legend-without-the-stardom/ | title=Riccardo Patrese: F1 Legend Despite an Unfulfilled Career | date=20 April 2020 }}</ref>

Patrese also competed at the [[World Sportscar Championship]] for the [[Lancia]] factory team, finishing runner-up in [[1982 World Sportscar Championship season|1982]] and collecting eight wins.

==Early life and career==

==Formula One career==

===Shadow and Arrows===

[[Image:Riccardo Patrese 1979 Imola.jpg|thumb|left|Patrese in the Arrows A1 at the [[1979 Dino Ferrari Grand Prix]]]]
He made his debut at the [[1977 Monaco Grand Prix]] with the [[Shadow Racing Cars|Shadow]] racing team sponsored by Italian businessman [[Franco Ambrosio (Formula One)|Franco Ambrosio]], replacing [[Renzo Zorzi]].<ref name=taylor /> He took his first point at the [[1977 Japanese Grand Prix|Japanese Grand Prix]] later that year.<ref name=taylor /> Later that year team-leader [[Jackie Oliver]] and sponsor Ambrosio left Shadow to form the [[Arrows (F1)|Arrows]] team. Patrese and Shadow teammate [[Alan Jones (racing driver)|Alan Jones]] both received offers from the [[Williams Grand Prix Engineering|Williams]] team for 1978: whilst Jones joined Williams, Patrese linked up with Arrows, alongside [[Rolf Stommelen]].<ref name=taylor /> Shadow subsequently took Arrows to court, arguing that Arrows had stolen the design of the Shadow DN9 that Arrows and were essentially running a DN9 under a different name. The court agreed, forcing Arrows to design and construct a totally new car, the Arrows A1, which became the first of the Arrows F1 bloodline.

In [[1978 Formula One season|1978]] Patrese very nearly won Arrows' second race, the [[1978 South African Grand Prix|South African Grand Prix]], until engine failure forced him to retire 15 laps from the end. He subsequently took second at the [[1978 Swedish Grand Prix|Swedish Grand Prix]] behind [[Niki Lauda]]'s [[Brabham BT46B]] "fan car", in its only appearance before being withdrawn.<ref name=taylor /> However, his driving style was perceived by some established drivers, such as [[Ronnie Peterson]] and [[James Hunt]], as being over-aggressive.<ref name=widdows>{{cite magazine |last=Widdows |first=Rob |date=November 2007 |title=Patrese: more sinned against than sinning? |url=https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/november-2007/98/patrese-more-sinned-against-sinning |pages=98–101 |magazine=[[Motor Sport (magazine)|Motor Sport]]|access-date=29 July 2018 }}</ref> Later that year, at the Italian Grand Prix, Patrese's reputation for aggressive driving was blamed for a first lap major incident. In part, one of the causes suggested was a premature start by the Monza race director, leading to cars at the rear of the field catching up to those in the midfield that had been fully stopped when the green signal was given.<ref name=":0">{{Cite news|url=http://www.newspapers.com/clip/32072197/the_tampa_tribune/|title=Monza Defendants Cleared in Fatal Crash|date=1981-10-29|website=The Tampa Tribune|page=74|language=en|via=Newspapers.com|access-date=2019-05-30}}</ref> This being said, Patrese, Peterson, and 8 others were involved in a 10-car pile-up before turn one, causing a stoppage of the race. Peterson, whose injuries from the chain reaction wreck were not in and of themselves life-threatening, died from an [[embolism]] the day after the Grand Prix.

By the next race, the [[1978 United States Grand Prix|United States Grand Prix]], five top drivers - Hunt, Lauda, [[Mario Andretti]], [[Emerson Fittipaldi]] and [[Jody Scheckter]] - declared that unless Patrese was banned from the race that they would withdraw. The race organizers agreed to this: although Patrese later stated that he obtained a ruling from a local judge in [[Watkins Glen, New York|Watkins Glen]] stating that the ban was a violation of his [[right to work]], Arrows decided to withdraw his entry due to pressure from the organizers and the FIA. He returned to competition at the following race, the [[1978 Canadian Grand Prix|Canadian Grand Prix]], where he finished fourth.<ref name="widdows" /><ref name="taylor">{{cite magazine |last1=Taylor |first1=Simon |author-link1=Simon Taylor (journalist) |date=May 2010 |title=Lunch with... Riccardo Patrese |url=https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/may-2010/84/riccardo-patrese |magazine=[[Motor Sport (magazine)|Motor Sport]] |pages=84–90 |access-date=29 July 2018}}</ref>

For years after the crash which caused Peterson's death, Hunt (along with other drivers) blamed Patrese for starting the accident, and viewers of Hunt's commentaries of Formula One races from 1980 to 1993 on [[BBC Television]] were regularly treated to bitter diatribes against Patrese when the Italian appeared on screen. Hunt, who never forgave the Italian for Peterson's death, believed that it was Patrese's muscling past that caused the McLaren driven by Hunt and the Lotus driven by Peterson to touch, but Patrese argued that he was already well ahead of the pair before the accident took place. Patrese, together with race director Gianni Restilli, stood trial in Italian criminal court on manslaughter charges for Peterson's death. Both were cleared of wrongdoing on 28 October 1981.<ref name=":0" />

Two of Patrese's most notable performances during his Arrows years were at the [[United States Grand Prix West]] in [[Long Beach street circuit|Long Beach]], where he finished second in [[1980 United States Grand Prix West|1980]] and took pole position in [[1981 United States Grand Prix West|the following year]]: he led the latter race before being forced to retire by a blocked fuel filter.<ref name=taylor />

===Brabham===
[[Image:Patrese at 1982 Dutch Grand Prix.jpg|thumb|left|upright|Patrese at the [[1982 Dutch Grand Prix]]]]
In [[1982 Formula One season|1982]] Patrese moved to [[Brabham]] and gained his maiden win at that year's [[1982 Monaco Grand Prix|Monaco Grand Prix]] in rather sensational circumstances. Patrese took the lead when [[Alain Prost]] crashed out, only to spin in dampening conditions on the next lap. This left him third behind [[Didier Pironi]] and [[Andrea de Cesaris]], who both stopped on the final lap – Pironi with an electrical fault and de Cesaris out of fuel. Later that season he also led the [[1982 Austrian Grand Prix|Austrian Grand Prix]] but retired due to an engine failure.<ref name=taylor /> Patrese finished the season tenth, just ahead of his teammate [[Nelson Piquet]]. [[1983 Formula One season|1983]] proved to be a more difficult season. Patrese crashed out late in the race while leading at San Marino - to the cheers of the ''[[tifosi]]'', as his shunt meant that he handed the race win to [[Scuderia Ferrari|Ferrari]] driver [[Patrick Tambay]].<ref name=taylor /> He also took pole on home ground at the [[1983 Italian Grand Prix|Italian Grand Prix]], before his engine blew up in the early stages of the race: in a 2010 interview he said he suspected that his engine had been left in its qualifying trim, rendering it extremely powerful but fragile, as he had not been offered a new contract for the following year, and had been reluctant to sacrifice his chances of winning his home Grand Prix for teammate [[Nelson Piquet]], who was fighting for the World Championship.<ref name=taylor /> Despite scoring a second win at the [[1983 South African Grand Prix|South African Grand Prix]], Patrese only finished ninth while Piquet claimed his second Drivers' Championship title. It would be seven years before he made another visit to the top step of the [[podium]].

===Alfa Romeo===
[[Image:Patrese, Alfa Romeo 02.08.1985.jpg|thumb|right|Patrese driving for [[Alfa Romeo (Formula One)|Alfa Romeo]] in 1985]]
A move to [[Alfa Romeo (Formula One)|Alfa Romeo]] in {{f1|1984}} delivered two lacklustre seasons resulting in eight world championship points and a single visit to the podium at the [[1984 Italian Grand Prix]]. Patrese and teammate, American Eddie Cheever, were hampered by cars with Alfa Romeo 890T [[V8 engine|V8]] turbo engines that proved too thirsty for the amount of fuel they were allowed to carry (220 litres). Often both drivers drove good races to be in the points, only to run out of fuel two or three laps from the finish, dropping them out of the points. Indeed, Patrese's 3rd place at [[Autodromo Nazionale Monza|Monza]] in 1984 (to date the final podium finish for Alfa Romeo in F1) came at the expense of Cheever, who was robbed of a podium finish when his car ran out of fuel 6 laps from the finish.

The pair were also hampered by their cars. {{f1|1984}}'s [[Alfa Romeo 184T]] proved fast in qualifying, but fuel restrictions saw them well off the pace in most races. The 1985 car, the [[Alfa Romeo 185T|185T]] proved to be even less competitive to the point that halfway through the season the team replaced it with an updated version of the 184T (dubbed the 184TB). Although the updated car did prove faster, results were not forthcoming. In an interview in 2000, Patrese described the 185T as "the worst car I ever drove".

At the [[1985 Monaco Grand Prix]], Patrese's former teammate Nelson Piquet began his 14th lap and was attempting to lap Patrese as they crossed the start/finish line. The cars made contact, and Patrese went into a spin while Piquet lost his suspension. Patrese then bounced off the wall and back into Piquet, and both drivers were out of the race.<ref>{{cite web |title=Throwback: Piquet and Patrese's dramatic exit from the 1985 Monaco GP |url=https://www.foxsports.com/motor/story/video-f1-crash-monaco-1985-051916 |work=Fox Sports |access-date=16 October 2019}}</ref>

===Return to Brabham===
In [[1986 Formula One season|1986]] Patrese returned to Brabham alongside [[Formula One drivers from Italy|fellow Italian]] [[Elio de Angelis]], but by now the team was a spent force and would never again take a driver to victory in a grand prix. Two more winless seasons followed despite the team's [[BMW in Formula One|BMW]] engine being considered at the time to be the most powerful on the grid. Despite the trials of uncompetitive machinery, Patrese never publicly criticised the team and earned respect throughout the sport for his professionalism.

===Williams===

[[Image:Patrese monaco91.jpg|thumb|right|Patrese driving for [[WilliamsF1|Williams]] at the [[1991 Monaco Grand Prix]]]]
[[Image:Riccardo Patrese 1992 Monaco.jpg|thumb|left|Patrese in the [[Williams FW14B]] at the [[1992 Monaco Grand Prix|Monaco Grand Prix]]]]

Toward the end of the [[1987 Formula One season|1987 season]], Patrese was given the chance to revitalise what seemed to be a declining career when the [[WilliamsF1|Williams]] driver [[Nigel Mansell]] was injured whilst qualifying for the [[1987 Japanese Grand Prix|Japanese Grand Prix]]. With the help of Brabham owner and Formula One boss [[Bernie Ecclestone]], Patrese tested the [[Williams FW11|Williams FW11B]] at Imola, where he set a time that was half a second quicker than [[Ayrton Senna]]'s pole at [[1987 San Marino Grand Prix|that year's San Marino Grand Prix]],<ref name=taylor /> and was drafted in to replace Mansell for the season's finale in [[1987 Australian Grand Prix|Australia]].

Patrese had already been signed by Williams management to be [[Nelson Piquet]]'s replacement for the {{f1|1988}} season as the 1987 and triple World Champion was off to [[Team Lotus|Lotus]] to replace [[Ayrton Senna]] who had signed with [[McLaren]] (Honda were staying with Lotus for 1988 but Williams had lost their Honda engines to McLaren). However, 1988 saw Williams struggling with an uncompetitive car powered by non-[[turbocharger|turbocharged]] [[Judd (engine)#CV|Judd]] V8 engines. Patrese and Mansell were also hampered in the first half of the season by the [[Williams FW12]]'s reactive suspension not working properly. It wasn't until the [[1988 British Grand Prix|British Grand Prix]] at [[Silverstone Circuit|Silverstone]] that Williams dumped the reactive suspension for a more conventional one and the FW12s became competitive.

At the [[1988 Spanish Grand Prix]], Patrese was fined [[US$]]10,000 for 'brake testing' the [[Tyrrell Racing|Tyrrell]] of F1 rookie [[Julian Bailey (racing driver)|Julian Bailey]] during qualifying which caused the [[Tyrrell 017]] to launch its front wheels in the air when Bailey ran into the back of the Williams. One unnamed driver allegedly said of the incident ''"They should fine him his bloody retainer. There are enough accidental shunts in this business without someone deliberately causing one"''.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_mSgnHbPGI Patrese Bailey Spain 1988 qualification]</ref>

It was not until {{f1|1989}} and the arrival of the [[V10 engine|V10]] [[Renault F1|Renault]] engines that Patrese and his new teammate [[Thierry Boutsen]] were able to challenge for race wins. In his record-breaking 176th Grands Prix, Patrese led the first race of the year in [[1989 Brazilian Grand Prix|Brazil]] (the first time he led a Grand Prix since 1983) including setting a new lap record of the [[Autódromo Internacional Nelson Piquet]] before stopping with an engine failure.<ref name=taylor /> In what would prove to be his best season since 1983, he achieved an impressive 3rd place in the Drivers' Championship, taking no wins but securing 6 podium finishes, including 4 second places, as well as claiming pole position in [[1989 Hungarian Grand Prix|Hungary]], a race he confidently led under constant pressure from reigning World Champion Ayrton Senna in his [[McLaren MP4/5|McLaren]]-[[Honda F1|Honda]] V10 until lap 54 when a holed radiator forced his retirement.

In {{f1|1990}}, Patrese finally won his third Grand Prix at the [[1990 San Marino Grand Prix]], though the competitiveness of the Renault powered [[Williams FW13|FW13B]] with what many felt were two "number two" drivers waned in the second half of the year as McLaren, Ferrari and later [[Benetton Formula|Benetton]] with their [[Cosworth#HB|Ford]] [[V8 engine]]s took the ascendancy and he finished the {{f1|1990}} Drivers' Championship in 7th place.
[[File:RiccardoPatrese.jpg|thumb|Patrese at the [[1991 United States Grand Prix]]]]
In {{f1|1991}} Nigel Mansell returned to Williams after two seasons with [[Scuderia Ferrari|Ferrari]] and, together with Patrese, the team became genuine contenders for both the Drivers' and Constructors' Championships. Two wins in [[1991 Mexican Grand Prix|Mexico]] and [[1991 Portuguese Grand Prix|Portugal]] gave Patrese his most competitive F1 season thus far and a respectable third place behind Championship contenders Mansell and Senna. In addition he took four pole positions across the season.<ref name=taylor /> Patrese also out qualified Mansell at every race until the halfway point of the season at Silverstone for the [[1991 British Grand Prix|British Grand Prix]], and provided much support for the Englishman's title chase at races such as [[1991 Italian Grand Prix|Italy]] and [[1991 Portuguese Grand Prix|Portugal]].

Williams dominated F1 in {{f1|1992}} and Patrese continued to deliver in his role of second driver to Nigel Mansell, moving out of the way for Mansell while leading comfortably at that year's [[1992 French Grand Prix|French Grand Prix]]. Again Patrese handled the delicate situation about team orders diplomatically, repeatedly offering a "No comment" to questions about the team orders that had been imposed on him at the red flag period of the French race. Patrese took a single win at the [[1992 Japanese Grand Prix|Japanese Grand Prix]] and had eight other podium finishes, including six second-place results. After his retirement Patrese stated that Mansell had the edge over him that season because of Mansell's greater upper body strength, as the car's steering was heavy due to the amount of downforce it generated combined with the absence of [[power steering]], whilst Patrese's skill in low speed corners was negated by the car's [[traction control system]].<ref name=taylor />

With [[Alain Prost]], Ayrton Senna and Nigel Mansell all desperately trying to sign for Williams, Patrese's position looked to be under threat and he signed for the Benetton team before the end of the year.  His teammate for {{f1|1993}} would be young German driver [[Michael Schumacher]]. Ironically, only Prost was able to agree terms with Williams for 1993 (Mansell went on to race in the American-based [[Champ Car]] series while Prost had a clause in his contract, signed in early 1992, that prevented Senna from being his teammate). This would have left a seat free for Patrese had he remained with the team. Although Williams offered Patrese the opportunity to stay with the team after Mansell announced his retirement from F1 at the [[1992 Italian Grand Prix|Italian Grand Prix]], he felt he could not go back on his word to Benetton.<ref name=taylor /> The number two seat at Williams went to the team's test driver [[Damon Hill]], the son of the {{f1|1962}} and {{f1|1968}} World Champion [[Graham Hill]].

===Benetton===
[[File:Riccardo Patreses - Benetton B193B during practice for the 1993 British Grand Prix (32873450823).jpg|thumb|Patrese driving the [[Benetton B193|Benetton B193B]] during practice for the [[1993 British Grand Prix]]]]
While Williams continued to dominate F1 in [[1993 Formula One season|1993]], Patrese found it difficult to get along with team manager [[Flavio Briatore]], sensing that the team's concentration was on his new teammate [[Michael Schumacher]]. Patrese would also describe the [[Benetton B193]] with its Ford HBA8 V8 as a step down in quality compared to the much more sophisticated Williams cars he had been driving for the previous five years. After scoring 56 points and finishing 2nd in the World Championship in 1992, Patrese scored 20 points to finish 5th in 1993 with a best finish of 2nd in [[1993 Hungarian Grand Prix|Hungary]] in what was to prove to be his final season in Formula One. Before the end of the season Briatore informed Patrese that he was "free to seek an alternate drive". [[Équipe Ligier|Ligier]] made Patrese an offer for 1994 but seeing it as a further step down in his career, he decided against it.

===Retirement===
As most top teams already had drivers signed for [[1994 Formula One season|1994]], Patrese opted for retirement and brought what was then the longest F1 career in history to a conclusion. Patrese was invited to rejoin Williams in 1994 to fill the seat of Ayrton Senna after his fatal accident at Imola, but ultimately decided against returning to Formula One. A [[Deutsche Tourenwagen Meisterschaft|DTM]] test with [[Mercedes-Benz]] in July 1994 did not come to fruition either.<ref name="riccardopatrese.com">{{cite web |url=https://www.riccardopatrese.com/patrese-dtm-test |title=Patrese's DTM Test (from Autosport)|date=7 July 1994 |website=riccardopatrese.com|access-date=18 November 2022}}</ref> In the second half of 1996, as thanks for his years of service to Williams, the team invited Patrese to test their latest car, the [[Williams FW18|FW18]], at Silverstone, with the Italian reportedly setting a time that would have placed him on the second row of the grid for that year's British Grand Prix.

After this, Patrese competed in the [[24 Hours of Le Mans]] in 1997. He drove a [[Nissan R390 GT1]] for the Nissan factory team; the car was third fastest in qualifying but was forced to retire with gearbox problems. After retiring from racing, he took up [[show jumping]], following in the footsteps of his daughters who have competed in the sport internationally.<ref name=taylor /> He won an Italian national amateur title before retiring from equestrianism in 2014.<ref name=autosport>{{cite web |url=https://www.autosport.com/gt/news/137655/patrese-explains-comeback-in-spa-24-hours |title=Ex-F1 racer Riccardo Patrese explains Spa 24 Hours comeback |last=Watkins |first=Gary |date=27 July 2018 |website=[[autosport.com]]|access-date=29 July 2018}}</ref> Outside of competition, he is a keen collector of [[model railway]]s, in particular those manufactured by [[Märklin]].<ref name=widdows />

In 2005 he returned to racing in the inaugural season of the [[Grand Prix Masters]] formula for retired F1 drivers. He finished third behind his former teammate Nigel Mansell and [[Emerson Fittipaldi]] in the sole 2005 race at [[Kyalami]], South Africa. His 2006 season was less successful with a 10th-place finish at [[Losail International Circuit|Losail]] in [[Qatar]] and a 6th at [[Silverstone Circuit|Silverstone]].

Patrese's [[List of Formula One driver records#Total entries|record]] of 257 Grand Prix entries, set in a period when a typical F1 season was limited to 16 races, stood for 15 years, surviving the Schumacher era when Michael Schumacher retired on 250 race entries. [[Rubens Barrichello]] finally surpassed Patrese's total, recording his 258th Grand Prix entry at the [[2008 Turkish Grand Prix]].<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/columnists/andrewbaker/2300232/Rubens-Barrichello-breaks-257th-race-record.html|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130927174443/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/columnists/andrewbaker/2300232/Rubens-Barrichello-breaks-257th-race-record.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=27 September 2013|title=Rubens Barrichello breaks 257th race record|work=The Telegraph|first=Andrew|last=Baker|date=12 May 2008|access-date=27 September 2013}}</ref>  As part of the "handover", Patrese tested a [[Honda Racing F1|Honda]] [[Honda RA107|RA107]] at [[Circuito Permanente de Jerez|Jerez]] on 9 September (Barrichello was driving for Honda at the time).<ref>{{cite news| title =Patrese to test for Honda F1| publisher =grandprix.com| url =http://www.grandprix.com/ns/ns20745.html| date =8 September 2008| access-date =9 September 2008}}</ref><ref>{{cite news| title =Patrese's F1 dream comes true| publisher =autosport.com| url =http://www.autosport.com/news/grapevine.php/id/70450| date =10 September 2008| access-date =10 September 2008}}</ref> Schumacher subsequently came out of retirement and became the second driver to surpass Patrese's former record.

In July 2018 it was announced that Patrese would come out of retirement to compete at the [[Spa 24 Hours]] that month, competing in the pro-am category in a [[JAS Motorsport]]-run [[Honda NSX (second generation)#Motorsports|Honda NSX GT3]] with Loïc Depailler (the son of former F1 driver [[Patrick Depailler]]), [[Bertrand Baguette]] and [[Esteban Guerrieri]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.autosport.com/gt/news/137473/patrese-to-make-racing-return-in-spa-24-hours |title=Ex-F1 driver Riccardo Patrese to make racing return in Spa 24 Hours |last=Watkins |first=Gary  |date=17 July 2018 |website=[[autosport.com]]|access-date=29 July 2018}}</ref><ref name=autosport />

Riccardo's son [[Lorenzo Patrese]] also became a racing driver alongside being a [[horse rider]].
