Neel Jani (born 8 December 1983) is a former FF1M driver from Rorschach, Switzerland. He raced in both eras of FF1M, and scored his only win at the 2006 Canadian Grand Prix having controversially replaced reigning champion Ralf Schumacher midway through the season. Jani was then dropped midway through the following season after an enormous accident at the Nurburgring before returning for the final two races. He then spent one more season in FF1M with Shake 'n' Bake, his only full season.
Jani was also a solid FF2M frontrunner, being in contention for the 2006 Asia and 2006 Europe series. He lost out by three points in the Asia series and was leading the Europe series before receiving the FF1M call-up.
