Alexandre Sarnes Negrão (born October 14, 1985), nicknamed 'Xandi', is a Brazilian race car driver. He raced in the 2005 and 2006 GP2 Series seasons for the HiTech/Piquet Sports team, an outfit funded mostly by former Formula One world champion Nelson Piquet.
Negrão's career started in karting in 1998, where he continued to race until he joined the Piquet team in Formula Three Sudamericana for the 2003 season. The team had been put together primarily to help Nelson Angelo Piquet's run through the lower series, his goal to make Formula One, but nevertheless Negrao would stay with team in 2004. He ended the 2004 season as the champion, and also got a taste of British Formula Three that year, in the form of two races for the Carlin Motorsport team.
Negrão will continue his alignment with the Piquet team in 2007, as the number one driver. Negrão is tipped, like his team-mate, for a big future in motorsport, and although overshadowed by his more flairy partner some consider him to be Brazil's next Formula One world champion.[citation needed]
