Career

Deledda has had a distinctively poor career to date with no stand out performances or results.

Lower formulae

Deledda did not start in karting like most racing drivers. Among other things, he participated in the Italian Superstock 600 motorcycle championship in 2017. After no successes, he switched to auto racing in 2018 and made his Formula 4 debut in the Italian F4 Championship, racing for Technorace.[2]

Emblematic of the struggles he would continue to face throughout his career, Deledda struggled through his debut season and scored no points. With 17th place at Autodromo Nazionale Monza as his best result, he finished in 39th place in the championship, and only ranked as 16 among the rookie drivers, with a meager 23rd place in the rookie championship.

Formula 3

In 2019, Deledda started the season in the winter championship of the Euroformula Open Championship, where he drove for Campos Racing. The two-races took place solely at Circuit Paul Ricard, and Deledda finished the races in eighth and ninth place. Subsequently, he made the switch to the new FIA Formula 3 Championship, in which he also drove for Campos.

Deledda showed little promise throughout his debut Formula 3 season, and finished a lowly 29th, thus securing his position as the worst driver to have competed at every event. Despite these poor results, he was retained for the 2020 F3 season, and partnered 2019 teammates Alex Peroni and German Sophia Flörsch. By the conclusion of his second season in Formula 3, his best finish has been a mere 16th place, while all of his other finishes across several dozen races have been 20th or lower.

FIA Formula 2 Championship

On January 22, 2021, Deledda was announced to be signing for HWA Racelab in Formula 2, partnering fellow countryman Matteo Nannini.[3]

Controversy

On 26 November 2020 Deledda caused a stir after publishing several videos on his Instagram profile of himself driving recklessly and with high speed on an Italian motorway near Pomezia, Lazio.[4] In one of the videos he slalomed around many cars during a traffic jam and in another video he filmed the dashboard reaching 300 km/h in the process. A third video showed a Point-of-view shot driving an Audi on a public road, reaching again around 200 km/h while driving with one arm on the steering wheel. Deledda was criticized by former F1 driver Giedo van der Garde, along with a handful of other notable F1 Personalities.[5]

Deledda posted a statement in Italian on his Twitter on November 27 saying that he's sorry they associated the video with his name and that his intent was and will always be to "raise awareness" among his followers about "similar acts of villainy". He went onto say that his mistake was "probably not to specify that it was an act of complaint".[6]
