Giovanni Lavaggi (born 18 February 1958 in Augusta, SR, Sicily, Italy) is a former racing driver from Italy who drove ten races in 1995 and 1996. A pay driver, Lavaggi effectively purchased ten Formula One drives, four for Pacific in 1995 and six for Minardi in 1996. He saw little success, failing to qualify for three of the races and being described as "desperately slow" by Jonathan Palmer. __TOC__
