Swapping F1 for WRC 🔀 Nuno Pinto, Lance Stroll’s F1 driver coach, is switching the day job for a RallydePortugal outing with a difference 👍 TommyHoward explains all ✍️
He’s coached the likes of Formula 1 drivers Max Verstappen and Lance Stroll but this weekend Nuno Pinto is swapping coaching for competing in the World Rally Championship.Miami Grand Prix to Rally Portugal isn’t a usual back-to-back but this is the reality for the 45-year-old former racing driver turned driver coach. The last 10 years has seen Pinto become part of Stroll’s support team travelling to every grand prix acting as the Canadian’s driver coach.
Long before Pinto turned to driver coaching to make a living, the Portuguese fell in love with motorsport through rallying after witnessing the iconic Lancia 037s tackle Portugal’s infamous gravel stages in 1983 during the frightening Group B era. It sparked a career in motorsport where Pinto competed in single-seaters, winning the 2002 Formula BMW Iberia Junior Cup, before testing in Formula 3 and Formula 3000.
Ultimately a full-time driver coach career beckoned, creating the Winway intensive driver development programme. It’s a career that has resulted in Pinto working with some of motorsport’s brightest talents and teams, including junior single seater stalwarts Prema in F4, F3 and F2.
