Stefano MODENA

Stefano Modena is an Italian former Formula 1 driver who competed in 73 Grands Prix between 1987 and the mid-1990s. Throughout his career, he drove for teams including Jordan, Tyrrell, EuroBrun, and Brabham. Despite not securing any race wins or pole positions, Modena achieved two podium finishes and accumulated a total of 17 championship points.

Modena’s career statistics reveal a podium rate of approximately 2.7%, with no recorded retirements (DNFs) across his 73 starts, indicating a high level of race reliability. However, his average positions gained per race stand at -0.31, suggesting he typically lost positions relative to his starting grid spot. Notably, he did not register any wins or podiums in wet-weather conditions.

While Modena did not contend for championships or victories, his consistent race finishes and ability to score points reflect a steady, if not front-running, presence in Formula 1 during his tenure. His career span of 39 years from debut to retirement marks a lengthy association with the sport, albeit with modest competitive impact.
