Giancarlo Fisichella, also known as Fisico, Giano or Fisi, is an Italian racing driver, currently competing in Formula 1 CMP with the Benetton team.

1999
Fisichella signed with Benetton for the first season of the series, however struggled to impress, scoring no points as teammate Alexander Wurz managed 6 in total. His best finish was 8th, coming at his home race, the Italian Grand Prix.

2000
Despite his mediocre first season with the team, Benetton resigned Fisichella for the new season. He capitalised on various high-profile drivers making mistakes to claim an unlikely podium at the Spanish Grand Prix, finally scoring his first ever points in the process.

After that result, he appeared to get more of a grip of the Benetton car, improving further to score 4 more podium finishes, including his and Benetton's first ever victory at the United States Grand Prix. He finished the season 5th in the World Drivers' Championship, ahead of Wurz.
