Career summary

Formula 4

In 2015, Peroni graduated to single-seaters, participating in the Italian F4 Championship with Torino Squadra Corse, finishing fourteenth overall with two podiums at Imola and Misano.

Formula Renault

In 2016, Peroni continued his collaboration with TS Corse, competing in Formula Renault 2.0 machinery in the V de V Challenge Monoplace. He dominated the season and won 14 from 21 races to clinch the championship title.[2]

For 2017, Peroni switched to Formula Renault Eurocup but decided to move to the Fortec Motorsports team.[3] He won race 2 at Pau and finished the season 10th in the drivers' standings ahead of his teammates Aleksey Korneev, Najiy Razak and Frank Bird.[4]

In 2018 he moved to MP Motorsport to again compete in the Formula Renault Eurocup, where he finished 9th in the championship, with the highlight being a 1st and 2nd place in the two Monaco events. He also won both races of the first round of the NEC series on the streets of Pau, which was his only NEC event of the year.

Formula 3

For 2019, he moved to the FIA Formula 3 Championship with Campos Racing.[5]

In the 2019 Italian feature race, merely a week after the crash which took Anthoine Hubert's life, and put Juan Manuel Correa in a coma, Peroni had a monumental crash after hitting a "sausage kerb", which sent him into a somersault into the tyre barriers, finally coming to a stop at the catch fence. He walked away from the crash with a broken vertebrae, but was in a stable condition. He remained in hospital for the next Sunday morning. He missed that weekend's Race 2 as a precaution.[6]
