Fisichella Motor Sport is a motorsport team, founded by Italian Formula One driver Giancarlo Fisichella and his manager Enrico Zanarini.

Racing history Euroseries 3000 Fisichella Motor Sport had a team, run by Scuderia Coloni, racing in the 2005 Italian Formula 3000 season. After a first season marked by the title of Luca Filippi, the team continued its domination of the discipline: in 2006, Giacomo Ricci won the title ahead of his teammate Marco Bonanomi, the FMS drivers having won 13 of the 18 races of the season. The 2007 season was much more difficult for the team which did not sign any victories, Luiz Razia only finishing third in the championship.

Fisichella International Racing surprisingly returned to racing via the 2014 Auto GP season, having replaced the short-lived Eurotech Engineering entry midway through the season at Round 5 in Imola. Fielding an all Italian line-up of Kevin Giovesi and Salvatore de Plano for 2014, the team managed three 2nd place finishes, all achieved by Giovesi, with de Plano's best result being 6th at the Red Bull Ring sprint race. For the 2015 season, neither Giovesi or de Plano were retained, instead, FMS brought in Italian Euroformula Open Championship driver Leonardo Pulcini for Hungary, along with Argentinian GP2 refugee Facu Regalia, who won the opening feature race, with Pulcini taking second in the sprint race, ahead of Regalia, who finished in 6th place. Only one car was run for Regalia in round 2 in Silverstone, before the 2015 season was folded due to low entry numbers, marking the end of the FMS name.

GP2 Series

At the end of 2005, Formula One driver Giancarlo Fisichella joined forces with Coloni. Luca Filippi, who moved across to GP2 with FMSI in 2006. He was joined by Turkey's Jason Tahincioglu, who brought sponsorship from Petrol Ofisi. Giorgio Pantano achieved a respectable fifth place overall. He won one of the two races in Magny-Cours and both races on his home circuit in Monza. Pantano replaced the somewhat disappointing Luca Filippi, whose best result with the team was a fifth place at Imola. Filippi moved to BCN Competición after the first three race weekends, where he replaced Timo Glock, who in turn had moved to iSport International. The second driver, the Turk Jason Tahincioğlu, had a weak year, his best finish being eleventh in Monza. In the team ranking, FSMI took fifth place overall.

At the start of the 2007 season in the GP2 series, the team expected an upward trend after last year's fifth place, especially since Antonio Pizzonia, a driver with Formula 1 experience, had been hired. However, Pizzonia proved to be a disappointment as he was only able to score a single point, at the race in Monaco. He was replaced by Adam Carroll from the fourth race weekend. Caroll won the home race at Silverstone and at the Hungaroring. Three more podium finishes followed and he finished seventh overall. Jason Tahincioglu didn't achieve a top 10 finish in any race and disappointed again. The team finished ninth overall.

In 2008 the team ran in the colours of Fisichella's F1 team Force India. The team originally planned to use Spanish drivers Andy Soucek and Adrián Vallés in the GP2 series, but both were replaced around the first race weekend in Barcelona. Roldán Rodríguez took over the cockpit from Souček before the start of the first race. A short time later, Vallés moved to the BCN Competición team and was replaced by Adam Carroll. After the race in Monaco, the team parted ways with Carroll and gave the second cockpit place to the Estonian Marko Asmer. In the overall ranking of the 2008 season, it was only enough for tenth place.

Coloni buyout Andreas Zuber and Luiz Razia joined the team for 2009. After the sixth round of the season, the Coloni team took back full control of the team after buying out Fisichella. It also had a new sponsorship deal with PartyPokerRacing.com. The deal also applies to their Formula BMW Europe team.

At the following round of the championship, Coloni's cars were impounded as a result of an injunction obtained by Soucek as part of his dispute with the team in its FMSI guise. The team missed the qualifying session and were thus ruled out of competing in either of the weekend's races.

Formula BMW Since 2008, FMS has been active in the European Formula BMW Championship. They drive there with 3 drivers: Pedro Bianchini, Mihai Marinescu and Oliver Millroy.

Superleague Formula In 2008, Fisichella Motor Sport participated in the Superleague Formula by fielding a car in the colors of AS Roma entrusted to Enrico Toccacelo and Franck Perera. The team ranks 5th in the championship with three podiums.
