Formula One

1987: Ferrari

After missing out on a race drive for the 1987 season, de Cesaris joined Scuderia Ferrari as a reserve/test driver. De Cesaris was called upon at the Portuguese Grand Prix when regular driver Michele Alboreto was injured in the race in Italy. De Cesaris failed to make the finish.

1989: Rial

De Cesaris returned to the grid midway through 1989 when he replaced the underperforming Christian Danner at the Rial team. He'd fail to score any points in the close of the year but managed to impress officials enough to earn a second season.

In his second season, he was more competitive than before and managed to score a fifth place in Belgium.
