Ottorino Volonterio

Hailing from Swiss roots, Ottorino Volonterio competed in Formula 1. Made three world championship starts spread across the mid-1950s, appearing in 1954, 1956 and 1957. each of his entries came at the wheel of a maserati, and he was already in his late thirties by the time of his first start.

His was an occasional presence rather than a sustained campaign: one start in each of his three seasons, none of them yielding points or a classified championship position. That pattern was common among the private Maserati runners of the period, who entered selected Grands Prix against the factory teams. Volonterio's Formula 1 record closed with three starts, no points, and a career that spanned four calendar years despite its brevity.
