Giannino "Nino" Barlini (born 3rd December 1997 in Cremona, Italy) is a racing driver currently contracted to Astro Racing Stars. He currently drives for Scuderia Alitalia in the F1RDS.

2015-2016: F1RDS
Barlini joined Red Bull World Race Team's F1RDS team after having dispensed with the services of disappointing Japanese driver Kastazumo Nakaya midseason. Although his first few results were quite low down the pack as he took time to learn the car, he managed an excellent 2nd place in the first race at Donington. He stood out at Germany and Belgium with a pair of well-executed points-scoring drives.

For 2016, Barlini was in demand. Red Bull wished to give Barlini a new contract, but the lure of driving for an Italian team took the young driver to Alessandro Linari's Scuderia Alitalia outfit who had disappointed in 2015 with an abnormally high turnover of drivers that season.
