Pierluigi Martini (born April 23, 1961, in Lugo di Romagna, Italy) is a former Italian Formula One driver. He participated in 124 grands prix, debuting on September 9, 1984. He scored a total of 18 championship points. He was synonymous with the Minardi team - he had 3 spells with them, drove for them on their debut in 1985, scored their first point in 1988 USA Grand Prix, their only front-row start at 1990 USA Grand Prix (aided by special Pirelli tyres; several of their other drivers had surprise qualifying results that day), their only lap leading a race in the 1989 Portuguese Grand Prix, and their joint-best F1 result of 4th.
In 1999, he won the Le Mans 24 Hours together with Yannick Dalmas and Joachim Winkelhock driving for BMW.
