What Our Clients and Partners Say
"Sergio’s contributions to Agrale have been instrumental in driving innovation and excellence. His expertise, dedication, and visionary approach have consistently elevated the team and its achievements."

Edson A S Martins
Director Agrale S.A.
"We first had the pleasure of working with Sergio when he was at Brabham in 1989 and 1990, supplying Judd EV 3,5 litre V8 engines for the 2 Brabham BT58 cars driven by Martin Brundle and Stefano Modena. Whilst it was a difficult time for the team Sergio had in fact designed an excellent F1 car which achieved a 3rd place at the Monaco GP that year and further enhanced his reputation as a car designer. A further collaboration was in 2008 for the Epsilon LMP car which sadly never came to fruition but was as ever a pleasure due to Sergio being responsible for the engineering and design, displaying a high level of competence and friendly liaison throughout."

"Sergio, I always feel a deep sense of nostalgia when I think about the time we spent together in Formula 1. We were young (it was 1988), full of enthusiasm and with limited resources, yet under your technical leadership, we designed and built a car in a short time that allowed Scuderia Italia and Alex Caffi to hold their own with dignity against numerous experienced competitors. Then our paths diverged, but I will always be grateful for the contribution you made to the growth of Dallara Automobili, and I am pleased to see that your expertise continues to enable you to successfully tackle new challenges."
