Luiz Felipe de Oliveira Nasr (born August 21, 1992) is a Brazilian racing driver who competed in Formula 1 during the 2015 and 2016 seasons. He was also a reserve driver for Williams in 2014.
Formula 1 Career
Sauber signed Nasr to race for the 2015 season alongside Marcus Ericsson. The Brazilian finished fifth on his Formula 1 debut at Albert Park, and went on to score points at five more rounds. He was retained by the team for the 2016, and scored Sauber’s only points of the season at his home race. This resulted in the bankruptcy of Manor Racing, the team he was slated to drive for the following season, thereby inadvertently ending his own Grand Prix career.
Association with Edox
Edox was announced as a Premium Partner of Sauber in 2016. As a Sauber driver, Nasr served as an Edox ambassador and made appearance at promotional events. Branded watches were only produced with the team.
Felio Siby
Miami-based luxury brand Felio Siby signed Nasr as a brand ambassador in late 2016, and released the Felipe Nasr Watch by Felio Siby the following year. The dial of the limited edition piece featured a mounted 1 and 7, along with red accents.
