Early Career
Since entering professional motorsport in 2006, Nato has worked his way up the ladder, finishing runner-up in F4 Eurocup 1.6 back in 2010 and in Formula Renault 2.0 Alps in 2012.
From there, Nato stepped into Formula Renault 3.5 and took a dominant victory around the streets of Monte Carlo. His performances opened the door to GP2 Series - now Formula 2 - where he took three wins and eight podiums in three seasons and finished fifth overall in 2016.
Most recently, Nato came third in both the 2018 European Le Mans Series and the 2019/20 FIA World Endurance Championship, including a second-placed finish in the prestigious 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Nato dipped into the world of all-electric street racing, having taken part in the 2020 Marrakesh Rookie Test.
Formula E & WEC
The Frenchman made his debut in Formula E alongside Edoardo Mortara at ROKiT Venturi Racing in 2021. It was a season of ups and downs with penalties denying Nato podiums in Rome and Valencia, but he ended his campaign on a high with a win in the Berlin season finale - becoming only the third driver to visit the top step in their rookie season.
Without a drive in Formula E for Season 8, Nato combined his efforts in the LMP2 category of the World Endurance Championship with a reserve driver role at Jaguar TCS Racing - where he stepped up to the plate to replace the injured Sam Bird in the season finale double-header in Seoul.
Formula E | Season 9 - 11
Nato returned with a full-time driver for Season 9, partnering rookie compatriot Sacha Fenestraz at the works Nissan outfit. The Frenchman ended his season with a best finish of second in the Rome E-Prix before a move to the championship-winning team of Andretti beckoned for the Frenchman the following year.
The driver from Cannes didn't have the best of campaigns at Andretti. He ended up the year in 15th but showcased his speed in Shanghai, crossing the line in third and picking up the fastest lap.
For Season 11, he is back with the Nissan stable and looking to add to his podium tally with the champion contenders as he joins Oliver Rowland for the all-new GEN3 Evo era.
