Felipe Giaffone (Brazilian Portuguese pronunciation: [feˈlipi ʒaˈfoni, fiˈ-]; born 22 January 1975) is a Brazilian racing driver. Giaffone competed in the Indy Racing League between 2001 and 2006, with a best season finish of fourth in the 2002 season with a single win at Kentucky. Later he switched to truck racing, claiming a total eight titles between Fórmula Truck and Copa Truck.
From 2008 to 2018, Giaffone worked as part-time commentator on IndyCar Series broadcasts on Rede Bandeirantes. In 2019 he joined Rede Globo to continue in that role on Formula One broadcasts. In 2021, he returned to Band as the network got the rights for F1 races. In 2026 he switched back to Globo to continue in Formula One broadcasts but in pay television channel SporTV.
His father, "Zeca" Giaffone is the 1987 Stock Car Brasil champion and a Mil Milhas Brasil five-time winner in the 1980s.
