Career

Karting

Born in Cannes, Boccolacci began karting in 2007 at the age of nine, competing in competitions across Europe.

Lower Formulae

In 2014, Boccolacci graduated to single-seaters, competing in the French F4 Championship. There he scored two victories, pole positions and fastest laps and finished as Junior champion and runner-up in the overall standings.

European Formula 3

In 2015, Boccolacci switched to European Formula 3, racing with Signature in the 2015 season. In contrast to his season in French F4, Boccolacci only finished twelfth in the rookie championship and nineteenth in the overall standings.

Formula Renault 2.0

Boccolacci joined Tech 1 Racing for the 2016 seasons.[2] Scoring three wins across both series, Boccolacci finished runner-up in the Eurocup standings and third overall in NEC.

GP3 Series

In November 2016, Boccolacci made his GP3 debut in the post-season test at Yas Marina with Arden International and DAMS.[3][4] In March 2017, Boccolacci joined Trident Racing for testing ahead of the 2017 season[5] He was signed to race with the team in May 2017, where he achieved a race win and sixth in the championship.[6] Boccolacci returned for the following season, switching to newcomers MP Motorsport.[7]

Formula E

In March 2018, Boccolacci was named as one of eight drivers to be signed to the Venturi Formula E team's new Next Gen Programme.[8]

Formula 2

On 22 August 2018 Roberto Merhi left the FIA Formula 2 Championship, as MP Motorsport promoted the French driver for the next round at Spa-Francorchamps. In the GP3 Series, Richard Verschoor replaced him at the team. Later, Merhi joined the Campos Racing team for the Sochi round, replacing Roy Nissany.

On 22 March 2019 it was announced that Dorian would join Campos Racing for the 2019 season alongside Jack Aitken.[9] Dorian struggled in the opening rounds in Bahrain but performed well on the street circuits of Baku and Monaco with a high of 4th place in the Monaco feature race.[10] After suffering from mechanical failure in the feature race at his home race at Circuit Paul Ricard, Boccolacci recovered to 13th in the sprint race.[11]

On 25 June 2019, Arjun Maini was announced as replacing Boccolacci in Campos Racing,[12] shortly followed by Boccolacci announcing on social media that Paul Ricard was his last race in Formula 2.[13] However, after missing the next round in Austria, Boccolacci secured a drive with Trident Racing for the Silverstone race weekend in July.[14]
