Edoardo Mortara (born 12 January 1987) is a professional Swiss-Italian racing driver. Born in Geneva, Switzerland, he holds dual nationality from Switzerland and Italy. He is a former Formula Three Euroseries champion and he almost claimed the DTM title with Audi in 2016. He is renowned as "Mr Macau" as he has won 10 times in Macau from 2008 to 2017 in F3 and GT races. These wins includes 2008 F3 Qualification Race, 2009 F3 Main Race, 2010 F3 Qualification Race and Main Race, 2011, 2012, 2013 Macau GT Races, 2013 Audi R8 LMS Race and 2017 Macau GT World Cup Qualification Race and Main Race. This is a record for any driver or rider in Macau up to date.

In 2017-2018, he drives for the Venturi Formula E team. In the first weekend of his Formula E races in Hong Kong, his performances stood out as a rookie as he finished 7th after charging from the field in the first race. And in the second race, he led most of the race until a spin which costed him the victory. However, he still finished in 2nd place and claimed the best-ever result for the Venturi team.

Career

Mortara leads Diego Nunes at the Turkish round of the 2009 GP2 Series season.

In 2006 he stepped up to Formula racing, starting in Formula Renault he becomes the top rookie in the Italian Formula Renault and also gaining experience in Eurocup Formula Renault. In 2008, he finished second in the F3 Euroseries championship , ahead of third place Jules Bianchi.

At the end of the 2009 season, Mortara returned to Formula Three to contest the Macau Grand Prix with Signature, after driven some uncompetitive GP2 machines early in the season. He went on to win the event easily ahead of team-mate Jean Karl Vernay. In 2010, he contested 2010 campaign in the Formula Three Euroseries.[1] He won the championship and then signed for Audi to drive for their DTM cars from 2011.

In November 2010, he won the Macau F3 Grand Prix for the second time in a row. He became the first ever driver to have won this famous event for 2 times.

For 2011, Mortara made a switch to the DTM series driving for Audi Team Rosberg. He made his progress steadily season by season. Since then, he has won 8 races, 4 Pole positions and 22 podiums in the DTM series up to 2017 season.

In 2016, he lost the DTM title by just 4 points. If it was not the wrong penalty given to him in the Hungarian round (which costed him valuable points in the championship), then he should/would be able to win the title.

Since 2017, he switched to Mercedes Benz after having almost won the DTM with Audi in 2016.

He is renowned as "Mr Macau" as he has won 10 times in Macau from 2008 to 2017 in F3 and GT races. These wins includes 2008 F3 Qualification Race, 2009 F3 Main Race, 2010 F3 Qualification Race and Main Race, 2011, 2012, 2013 Macau GT Races, 2013 Audi R8 LMS Race and 2017 Macau GT World Cup Qualification Race and Main Race. This is a record for any driver or rider in Macau up to date.

In 2017-2018 , he drives for the Venturi Formula E team. In the first weekend of his Formula E races in Hong Kong, his performances stood out as a rookie as he finished 7th after charging from the field in the first race. And in the second race, he led most of the race, but had a spin in the closing laps, causing him to finish in 2nd place behind Rosenqvist.

On 19th May 2018, he won his first DTM race for the Mercedes Benz at EuroSpeedway Lausitz. He then also claimed pole and victory on 23rd June 2018 at Norisring.
