Career
Karting
Lorandi began his racing career in karting in 2007. He won the Karting Federation Junior championship in 2013 and remained in karting until 2014.
Formula 3
In 2015, Lorandi debuted in open-wheel racing, straight from karting, in the FIA Formula 3 European Championship with Van Amersfoort Racing. He was Charles Leclerc's teammate.[1] The following year, Lorandi switched to Carlin and claimed his maiden victory at the prestigious Pau Grand Prix.[2][3]
GP3 Series
Lorandi made his debut in the series at the final two rounds of the 2016 season with Jenzer Motorsport.[4] In 2017, he reunited with the team to contest the series full-time. He got four podiums and one win at Jerez.[5]
Formula 2
In July 2018, Lorandi was called up to be a temporary replacement for Santino Ferrucci at Trident's Formula 2 team, after Ferrucci aggressively crashed into his team-mate Arjun Maini on the cool-down lap at the 2018 Silverstone FIA Formula 2 round. This replacement was set to last for four races. But shortly after the Trident team chose to sack Ferrucci due to unsportsmanlike behaviour, resulting in Lorandi replacing Ferrucci for the remainder of the season.
Personal life
Lorandi's younger brother Leonardo Lorandi is also a racing driver.
