Romagnoli

Romagnoli Aviazione FI Team is an Italian racing team owned by Italian aviation giants Romagnoli Aviazione. Having raced initially in junior formulae initially, Romagnoli bought the assets of Lexus in the end of the 2036 season and debuted in 2037. In their debut season, the team finished 3rd to the surprise of the paddock, also scoring a win on their first season, which was something unheard of a newcomer team in the past.

Origins
Romagnoli Aviazione is an aviation company founded in 1968 by Adriano Romagnoli and is currently owned by his son Dante, who is also a motorsport enthusiast. The company is one of the biggest aviations company in the world and the biggest in Italy. Somewhere in the early 2030s, they decided to enter motorsport in lower FIA-sanctioned tiers and eventually managed to gather enough experience to move to Formula International. In the end of 2036, Lexus was put on sale and Romagnoli took part in the bidding war and won it over many other bidders as the most trusted by FIA due to their past experience. The team entered as Romagnoli Aviazione FI Team for the 2037 season.

2037: A stunning debut campaign
For their debut campaign, Romagnoli signed Jose Earl on loan from Gazprom Lada and newcomer Jasmine Estrella. The team stunned everyone on their debut as Earl finished 2nd and Estrella 9th and scored a podium on their debut race. Eventually, the team established themselves on their debut season as one of the top teams and scored many podiums with both Earl and Estrella impressing. In the 12th race of the year, Earl scored his and Romagnoli's first win, thus making the team the first to win a race on their debut campaign. In the end, Earl finished 6th, Estrella finished 8th and became the rookie of the year and Romagnoli finished 3rd, thus becoming the best newcomer team in the history of Formula International.

2038-present: Established at the front and title battles
Earl and Estrella were retained for 2038 after the stunning debut campaign, but this year was somewhat worse than their exceptional 2037 season, with Earl finishing 10th and Estrella 11th, but it was still a solid campaign, with the team scoring plenty of podiums. Both drivers left the team in the end of the year and two loanees came in 2039, Petteri Kaartoranta from Shadow and Justin McQueen from Haas. 2039 was a weak season, with the team stuck in the midfield and scoring only 2 podiums, one from each driver.

In 2040 however, while the duo was retained, Romagnoli fought for the driver's title with Petteri Kaartoranta showing great consistency and despite having scored no wins through the season, managed to finish second in just his second year in the tier. McQueen was the one who scored the team's only win and helped them finish in third in the standings, but did not finish in the top 10 due to inconsistent results.
