Roman Rusinov

Roman Aleksandrovich Rusinov ( _ru. Роман Александрович Русинов, born October 21, 1981 in Moscow) is a Russian auto racing driver.He has competed in Formula 3000, American Le Mans and the FIA GT championship before 2005, when he was appointed one of Russia's A1GP drivers. The team lasted only three events before running out of funding.

With MF1 Racing becoming the first Russian-owned team in Formula 1, it has been Russo-Canadian business mogul and team boss Alex Shnaider's ambition to get a native driver in the field. Rusinov was one of four test drivers signed to MF1, but would remain out of the spotlight as the only one who did not participate in at least one Friday practice session.

In 2008 Rusinov switched to endurance racing, driving a Reiter Engineering-prepared Lamborghini Murcielago in the FIA GT Championship and Le Mans Series and a Gallardo in the ADAC GT Masters, together with Peter Kox.
