What is the name of the Italian race car who competes against Lightning McQueen in Pixar's Cars 2?

Francesco Bernoulli is the Italian race car who competes against Lightning McQueen in Pixar's Cars 2.

Francesco is a Formula One-style open-wheel racer and McQueen's principal sporting rival during the World Grand Prix. He is designed with a confident, boastful personality and presents himself as the fastest car in the competition. His rivalry with McQueen supplies the main racing tension while Mater's accidental spy work drives the film's separate action plot.

Francesco is voiced by John Turturro in the English version. He should not be confused with Lewis Hamilton, who voices a different character, or with the other World Grand Prix competitors Max Schnell and Raoul ÇaRoule. Francesco's Italian identity is reflected in his name, design, and the race staged in Porto Corsa.
