'''Hermano''' or '''Hernando João "Nano" da Silva Ramos''' (born 7 December 1925 in Paris, France) is a Brazilian former racing driver with French dual nationality. Beginning his racing career in 1947, he started gaining notoriety in 1953 and early 1954, leading to a drive for [[Gordini]]. He won his third race, the [[1954 Belgian Grand Prix]], ultimately finishing fourth that season. The following year, he surprisingly signed for [[Bernie Ecclestone]]'s team, but was soon fired. Promptly signing for [[Renzo]] then [[Ferrari]], the results dried up and he was left without a drive. In 1957, he returned to Gordini, replacing the late [[Eugenio Castellotti]]. However, this would be as part of a rotation with [[Harry Schell]], [[Redmond Gallagher]] and others, with Ramos not performing well enough to justify a full-time position.

With [[Gordini]] leaving the sport at the end of 1957 and the team being sold to [[Voeckler Grand Prix Engineering|Voeckler]], Ramos found himself without a drive. A new home was found at [[Scuderia Centro Sud]] for [[1958 Alternate Formula One season|1958]] and in his second start for the Italian squad Ramos delivered a second place finish at an attrition-hit [[French Grand Prix]]. However, the race would also be marred with tragedy as [[Giulio Cabianca]] sadly lost his life during the event. Shortly after the race, Ramos would be called up to replace Cabianca at the works [[O.S.C.A.]] squad, thanks to the partnership between them and Centro Sud.

Due to the unusual race stoppages in the [[1955 Soviet Grand Prix]] and his ties with [[Ferrari]] by that point, Ramos has the distinction of being the only Formula 1 driver to have driven three different cars in the same race. He also scored two pole positions and two fastest laps.
