From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia Alessandro Nannini (born July 7, 1959 in Siena, Italy) was a Formula One driver from Italy. He participated in 78 grands prix, debuting on March 23, 1986. He won 1 race, achieved 9 podiums, and scored a total of 65 championship points. After joining Benetton for 1988 he immediately impressed, qualifying fourth for his second race in the team, and finishing 3rd at Silverstone. In the 1989 Japanese Grand Prix he lay 3rd behind the two McLaren cars when Senna tried an over-optimistic overtaking move, and Prost turned in on him, knowing that a point-less race from Senna would give him the title. Senna rejoined after being push-started, and pitted to replace his front wing, rejoining behind Nannini. He overtook him to win the race, but was disqualified for the outside assistance, handing Alessandro what proved to be his only Formula 1 win.
One week after the 1990 Spanish Grand Prix he was involved in a helicopter crash in Siena and suffered a major hand injury. The injury healed thanks to successful microsurgery but it ended his Formula One career. He's minor brother of woman rock-singer Gianna Nannini.
