Career
Formula Renault
World Series by Renault
season.Bonanomi began his car racing career in 2001 by competing in a few rounds of the
Formula Renault Eurocup and Italian Formula Renault championships with the Cram Competition team. He took part in the same series in 2002, but moved to the RP Motorsport
team.
Four years later, Bonanomi drove in four races of the
Circuit de Catalunya. Running behind Mikhail Aleshin
on the front straight, Bonanomi jinked out to make a pass but touched wheels with the Russian which launched him into the air and after hitting the bottom of the scoring tower, his car landed upside down on the grass beside the pit exit. He was unhurt, but his car was unrepairable, thus meaning his season was over.
Formula Three
From 2003 to 2005 Bonanomi focussed on
Coloni, and another run by retired F1 driver and compatriot Piercarlo Ghinzani
.
Formula 3000
For 2006, Bonanomi drove in the Euroseries 3000 for the Fisichella Motor Sport team. He finished runner-up in the Drivers' Championship with six pole positions and wins from eighteen starts; his most successful stint yet in motorsport.
Formula Master
In addition to a full
2007, Bonanomi also competed in selected rounds of the inaugural International Formula Master
series, achieving in final placing of fifteenth in the Drivers' Championship.
GP2 Series
In the early part of 2008, Bonanomi drove in another new motorsport championship: the
Qi-Meritus Mahara from the January Bahrain meeting onwards.[1] This was due to Yoong lacking sufficient time for racing.[2]
WEC Hypercar
