Pietro Bordino (22 November 1887 – 15 April 1928) was an Italian racing driver. One of Italy's top racing drivers of the 1920s, Bordino won the 1922 Italian Grand Prix. One of the few European drivers of the period to compete on the regular American Indy car circuit, composed largely of board ovals, he won twice during the 1922 U.S. racing season.
Bordino died in 1928 during practice for a race at Alessandria after he hit a dog, causing his car to overturn and land in a river, drowning him.[1]
Sir Henry Segrave described him as “the finest road race driver in the world.”[2] He was renowned for his speed and courage, although his race successes did not necessarily meet that promise.
