Teodorico Fabi, better known as Teo Fabi (born March 9, 1955) is an Italian former racing driver.

Career

Born in Milan, Fabi participated in 71 Formula One Grands Prix, debuting on January 23, 1982. He achieved 2 podiums, and scored a total of 23 championship points. He took 3 pole positions, but never led a racing lap. He was also runner-up in the 1983 IndyCar championship; during that year, he became the second driver to qualify for the pole position of the Indianapolis 500-Mile Race as a rookie, going on to lead the opening 23 laps before eventually retiring with a broken fuel valve O-ring on lap 44.

He is the elder brother of Corrado Fabi, also a racing driver; Corrado shared the 1984 Brabham drive with him: since Teo was already committed to a programme in CART racing, Corrado stood in for the races which clashed with his CART commitments.

Teo also had a successful sports car racing career, culminating in winning the 1991 World Sportscar Championship for TWR Jaguar.
