F1 drivers who have competed at the Winter Olympics

The Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics evoke a look back at the unexpected crossover between Formula 1 and winter sports. Beyond current figures like Andrea Kimi Antonelli and Stefano Domenicali carrying the Olympic torch, and past displays like Luca Badoer's Ferrari donuts, a fascinating history reveals four F1 drivers who competed in the Winter Games. Divina Galica, a British skier and one of F1's few female drivers, raced in four Olympics across multiple disciplines, even returning for speed skiing at 47. Alfonso de Portago, Bob Said, and Robin Widdows all competed in bobsleigh, with de Portago achieving a near-podium finish. This unique connection showcases the extraordinary athleticism and adrenaline-seeking spirit shared between these high-speed worlds, with former Sauber test driver Simona de Silvestro set to continue the legacy at the 2026 Games.
