A former F1 driver was arrested last week for an alleged assault in the USA.
Former F1 driver Antonio Pizzonia was arrested in the USA last weekend for alleged assault, as reported. Pizzonia, 45, had a career in various racing series, including F1 from 2003 to 2005. He started with Jaguar in 2003 alongside Mark Webber but was replaced by Justin Wilson later that season. In 2004, Pizzonia raced for Williams in place of Marc Gene, scoring three seventh-place finishes. Despite missing out on a full-time seat in 2005, he returned later in the season due to late-season injuries to Nick Heidfeld. Pizzonia’s recent arrest occurred during the 2026 Superkarts USA Winter Series event in Texas where he was supporting his son.
