Bernardo Lucas Pinheiro (born 3 March 2004) is a Portuguese racing driver currently competing for Team Virage in the European Le Mans Series.
[6] After retiring from the Le Mans round Pinheiro and King established themselves as a top team, only losing out on victory to Ștefan at Le Castellet, and finishing third in race 2 at Aragón; Pinheiro also scored his maiden pole position at the latter track but missed out on the win in race 1 when King encountered a fuel issue mere metres before the finish line.
[8][9] The Portuguese won the season finale at Portimão to claim second in the standings alongside King, before the pair and Ștefan took part in the European Le Mans Series's post-season test.
[10] Having taken a podium in the third round of the Prototype Winter Series at the start of 2024, Pinheiro would enter the LMP3 class of the ELMS alongside 2023 Le Mans Cup champions Gillian Henrion and Julien Gerbi, once again returning to Team Virage.
[12] At the next race in Le Castellet however, Pinheiro failed to drive for the mandated minimum time of 40 minutes, meaning that he would be ineligible to score any points from their seventh place finish.
