Renzo Zorzi (12 December 1946, Ziano di Fiemme– 15 May 2015, Magenta, Lombardy) was a racing driver from Italy who participated in 7 Formula One Grands Prix between 1975 and 1977. Zorzi began his racing career in Formula Three in 1972, driving various cars with little success. In 1974 he switched to a GRD, and won the Monaco Formula Three race in 1975. This helped him towards a couple of races for Williams in Formula One, before his sponsorship funds ran out. In 1977 he raced with Shadow, backed by their Italian sponsor Franco Ambrosio.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Renzo Zorzi )〕 Despite finishing sixth at the 1977 Brazilian Grand Prix and earning a World Championship point, he was dropped from the team after five races and replaced by Riccardo Patrese. He was indirectly involved in a horrific accident during the 1977 South African Grand Prix, after he retired his car when a split fuel pipe caused an engine fire.〔 While Zorzi dealt with the fire with his on-board extinguisher, two fire marshals ran across the track and one, Frederick Jansen Van Vuuren, was struck and killed by the car of Zorzi's team-mate Tom Pryce, who was also killed. Zorzi later raced in sports cars and the Aurora AFX F1 series, driving an Arrows. After retiring from racing, he ran a Pirelli driving school in southern Italy. Zorzi died on 15 May 2015, aged 68.〔(Obituary: Renzo Zorzi 1946-2015 )〕 ==Complete Formula One World Championship results== (key) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Renzo Zorzi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
