Corrado Fabi (born 12 April 1961) is a former racing driver from Italy. He participated in 18 Formula One Grands Prix, debuting on 13 March 1983, scoring no championship points. He is the younger brother of Teo Fabi, also a racing driver.
Career
Fabi was born in Milan. He took up karting as a teenager, driving for the Birel Team. In 1979, age 18, he made his debut in Formula Three. In 1980 he partnered Michele Alboreto in the Euroracing European F3 team, finishing third in the championship.
In 1981, Fabi graduated to Formula Two and in 1982 he won the championship driving a March-BMW.
In 1983, Fabi made his debut in Formula One with Osella at the Brazilian Grand Prix. Despite the car's lack of competitiveness, which marred his season, Fabi was able to show form, regularly outqualifying his teammate Piercarlo Ghinzani. In 1984, he shared a Brabham Formula One drive with his brother Teo, deputising for him when Teo's commitments to CART racing in the USA took precedence. After his opportunities in Formula One dried up, Corrado Fabi raced briefly in CART before retiring to look after the family business.
