He is the son of former Formula One driver Luca Badoer.
In September 2022, Badoer was chosen in a scouting camp conducted by the Ferrari Driver Academy.[2]
Badoer made his single-seater debut in the 2022 Formula 4 UAE Championship with AKM Motorsport.[3] He failed to score any points and placed 28th in the standings.
For his main campaign, Badoer would race in the Italian F4 Championship with Van Amersfoort Racing.[4] He had a difficult first half of the season, failing to score points but broke through with a fifth place in Spielberg, and score a few more points that season to end 16th in the standings.[5] The Italian also competed as a guest driver in ADAC Formula 4 in two rounds.[6]
Badoer raced in the 2023 Formula 4 UAE Championship with Pinnacle VAR during pre-season.[7] He took his maiden single-seater podium with third at the Dubai Autodrome.[8] Despite not being present in two of five rounds of the championship, Badoer was sixth in the overall standings.
Badoer remained with Van Amersfoort Racing in Italian F4.[9] His season would be much more improved that the year before, starting out with a second place in Imola.[10] He scored four more podiums throughout the season with consistent points finishes, including a pole position in Monza.[11] This placed him sixth in the championship standings.[12]
During pre-season, Badoer would compete in the 2024 Formula Regional Middle East Championship with PHM AIX Racing.[13] He achieved three podiums, putting him tenth in the standings.
