Career
Formula 4
2022 Quintarelli made his racing debut in the Formula 4 UAE Trophy Round, which is on the support bill of the Formula One Grand Prix held in Abu Dhabi. He drove for the Yas Heat Racing Academy, finishing ninth and eleventh in the two races respectively.
2023 Quintarelli was then announced to be contesting the full 2024 Formula 4 UAE season, driving for the same team that he was with in the Trophy Round. He had a tough campaign finishing 34th in the standings with a best result of 16th. Quintarelli would then move over to Europe to drive in Italian F4 with R-ace GP. He finished 31st in the standings with a season-best result of 13th place. He also competed in one round of the Euro 4 Championship, finishing as high as 16th over three races.
2024 Quintarelli was then confirmed to be part of Saintéloc Racing's 2024 F4 Spanish Championship squad for the season. In preparation, he also would contest in the 2024 Formula 4 UAE Championship with the team. Quintarelli impressed, managing to score a best result of 4th at Yas Marina on his way to 13th place in the standings, showing considerable improvement. He then moved on to his main season in the F4 Spanish Championship, where he impressed on debut as he finished fourth with the fastest lap in the first round in race three at Jaramá. That fourth place would turn out to be Quintarelli's highest finish of the season, as he missed the final two rounds of the season on his way to 15th place in the standings, ahead of all his teammates.
Eurocup-3 Quintarelli competed in the final round of the 2024 Eurocup-3 season, with a best result of 20th from the two races he contested.
Endurance racing
2024 Quintarelli was announced as one of the drivers competing for Ultimate AF Corse in the Asian Le Mans Series for the 2024-25 season. Quintarelli had a strong start to his endurance racing career, as he and his team took two victories from the first round at Sepang, winning races 1 and 2 in the LMP3 category at the 4 Hours of Sepang.
