Ricardo Teixeira (born August 2, 1984 in Lisbon, Portugal) is a Portuguese- Angolan racing driver. He holds dual nationality and has raced under both nationalities at various points in his career. His career has been sponsored by the Angolan oil company, Sonangol.

Career

Formula BMW

Teixeira began his formula racing career in 2001 by driving in the Formula BMW Junior Cup in Portugal. He finished in 20th position in the drivers' championship.

Formula Three

Not good

GP2 Series

Teixeira was signed by the Trident Racing team to drive in the fifth and sixth rounds of the 2008–09 GP2 Asia Series season. He replaced Frankie Provenzano, and was the seventh competitor to drive one of the team's two entries. He was the first Angolan driver to compete at this level of motorsport. Trident kept a hold of Teixeira for the 2009 GP2 Series. He became the first driver to not qualify for an event since Christian Bakkerud in 2007, as he did not lap within 107% of Romain Grosjean's pole position time, in Monaco. [1] He did not score any points and finished the championship in 26th position.

After two years away from the series, first in Formula Two and then as a test driver for the Lotus Formula One team, Teixeira returned to GP2 by signing with the Rapax team for the 2012 season, in which he partnered Tom Dillmann. After ten races, and with a best finish of 13th, he was replaced by Daniël de Jong after suffering from illness. [2] He returned to action for the next round at Silverstone, with De Jong taking Dillmann's seat instead. [3] Teixeira eventually finished 29th in the championship, having scored no points.

Formula Two

Teixeira at the Oschersleben round of the 2010 FIA Formula Two Championship season.

Teixeira moved to the FIA Formula Two Championship for 2010. He finished fifth in his third race in the series, at Marrakech, but suffered a spectacular aerial accident in the following race when he collided with Ivan Samarin under braking for a chicane. Teixeira was uninjured in the accident. [4] Over the course of the season he amassed 23 points to finish 16th in the drivers' championship: his best showing in any series since 2006.

Formula One

After driving for Team Lotus in pre-season testing for the 2011 season, Teixeira was confirmed as a test driver for the team in March 2011. [5]
