Mario Haberfeld

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mario Haberfeld is a Brazilian auto racing driver born January 25, 1976 in São Paulo.

After winning the British Formula Three Championship in 1998, he drove in Formula 3000 from 1999 until 2002. He posted some decent results, but struggled his first season driving for the McLaren junior team failing to score a single point while teammate Nick Heidfeld won the series championship. It didn't reflect highly on McLaren's Formula One team director Ron Dennis and the highlights of his F1 career were a few tests for Stewart Grand Prix in 1997 and also Williams.

In 2003 he moved to the Champ Car World Series driving for Mi-Jack Conquest Racing. His team shared information with a fellow rookie team driving a Reynard chassis, Emerson Fittipaldi's team with future F1 driver Tiago Monteiro. He scored a best finish of 4th his first start in St. Petersburg. In 2004 he was a field-filler driving the lone Reynard in the series for Derrick Walker, but proved his worth with another pair of top-five finishes. Unfortunately no one picked him up for 2005, but he drove a few Grand-Am races for Tuttle Team Racing at the end of the year. He currently drives in the Rolex Grand Am series for Adrian Fernández who is also his teammate.
