Alfons Lazaro Menegus (born 19 August 1990) is a Tiroler racing driver who races in Gran-Prix One for the Renehan GP1 Team, having previously raced for Iżakk Racing, Alfieri-Rossi and HT. He is contracted with Renehan till the end of the 2024 season.

Born and raised in the Maran suburb of Rvòu, Menegus joined the Corsa Markusse Youth Programme in 2004 after his first year in Captaincy School, on the recommendation of retired GP1 driver Julias Cuorda. Menegus performed well on the programme, but was never selected to compete as the Corsa Markusse driver in the Gran-Prix One, ultimately he left the programme in 2008 to drive for Alpine Motorsport in the Gran-Prix 3. Menegus made his debut in GP1 in 2011, signing a contract with newly founded HT team. Following HT entering administration after the 2012 season, Menegus was unable to find a drive for the 2013 season but the following year he signed with Iżakk for 2014. After three seasons at Iżakk, Menegus was not re-signed by the team and signed a two year deal with Alfieri-Rossi. Ultimately, Menegus left Alfieri-Rossi after five seasons with the team, choosing to sign with Renehan for the 2022 season. Menegus secured his best ever season in 2022 finishing second place in the driver's championships with 2 wins and 10 podiums. He increased his points total in 2023 with 3 wins and 12 podiums but finished 3rd in the championship.

Early life

Menegus was born on 19 August 1990 in the borough of Rvòu in Maran, Provinzia Passeier. He was born to working-class parents Albrecht and Maria Menegus. He joined the Rvòu Karting Club in 1999.
