Italian racing driver
David Cleto Fumanelli (21 April 1992, Milan) is an Italian racing driver and racing coach.
Single Seater Career
Formula Renault 2.0
Fumanelli, after just two years of national karting races, made his single-seater debut in 2008 in his native Italian Formula Renault 2.0 series, driving for RP Motorsport.
Formula 3
In September 2008, Fumanelli made his Formula 3 debut in the Spanish Formula 3 series, competing in the last two rounds of the championship. During the last event in Valencia, he was involved in a violent airborne accident with Spanish driver Carmen Jordá, which resulted in a vertebra trauma, which forced him to a six-month stop.
Fumanelli remained in the series for 2009, the first of three full seasons in the category with RP Motorsport. He finished his first full season in eighth place and "Best Rookie" after recording two late-season victories at Jerez and Barcelona.
In 2010, Fumanelli took three race wins to finish the year third overall, showing an impressive progression and speed.
In 2011, Fumanelli finished as F3 European Open Vice - Champion. After a slow start to the season, which saw just one podium finish in the first eight races, he took four race victories in the final eight races, to finish eight points behind the Swiss driver Alex Fontana.
GP3 Series
Following a successful test at Jerez in December 2011, Fumanelli graduated to the GP3 Series in 2012, racing for MW Arden Team.

Why this record matters
The phrase “italian racing driver” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 22, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1174486. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1992, 2008, 2009 and 2010.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
