Ottorino Volonterio (7 December 1917 – 10 March 2003) was a racing driver from Switzerland. He was born in Orselina and was trained as a lawyer,[1] before he began participating in sports car racing.[2] He debuted in Formula One at the 1954 Spanish Grand Prix on 24 October 1954 in a Maserati 250F, but was not successful in the three World Championship Grands Prix he entered,[2] and only finished the Italian Grand Prix 15 laps behind the winner.[3] Volonterio continued to compete in non-championship Formula One races and sports cars, with his best result a second place in the Coupe de Paris at Montlhéry in 1955.[3] He continued racing until 1973, and died in Lugano in 2003.[1]
