Olivier Henri Aldo Léopold Beretta (born 23 November 1969) is a professional racing driver from Monaco who raced in Formula One in 1994 for the Larrousse team, partnering Érik Comas. He participated in 10 Grands Prix, debuting on 27 March 1994. He scored no championship points and was replaced when his sponsorship money ran out. During 2003 and 2004, he tested for the Williams team.

Career

Born in Monte Carlo, Beretta has seen more success in sportscar racing, taking class wins at the 24 Hours of Le Mans with Viper GTS-Rs in 1999 (tenth overall) and 2000 (seventh overall), Corvettes in 2004 (C5-R, sixth overall), 2005 (C5-R, fifth overall) and 2006 (C6-R, fourth overall) and driving LMP900 class cars to sixth (2001), fourth (2002) and third (2003) place class finishes.

He made a single NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series start at Heartland Park Topeka in 1999 for Bobby Hamilton Racing, qualifying tenth and finishing 17th. Beretta was the first European to compete in the Truck Series, describing the vehicle as "much heavier" than expected and commenting that he "wasn't used to seeing my hands in front of me on the steering wheel. I'm used to them sitting much lower in the car."

For 2012, Beretta made the move from Corvette to Ferrari and started the season at the 2012 24 Hours of Daytona with Risi Competizione's Ferrari F458 Italia Grand Am. He competed in the FIA World Endurance Championship in a GTE-Pro class Ferrari F458 Italia for AF Corse.
