=== Formula One ===
==== Minardi (2002) ====
Ricci would enter Formula One with Minardi for the 2002 season.
=== Sports Cars ===
After a not so impressive debut season in Formula One Ricci moved onto the world of sports cars for the next two years to re-establish himself. While doing this he also served as a test driver for both Minardi and Jordan, but never drove during a race weekend.
=== Return to Formula One ===
==== Margheriti (2005) ====
In 2005 following the departure of Margheriti's Georgina Hill to McLaren, Ricci was offered an opportunity to return to Formula One for the Italian team for the remainder of the 2005 season.
==== Jordan (2006) ====
After a 10th place finish at the Brazilian Grand Prix with Margheriti, Ricci received an offer from the floundering Jordan team. Jordan's struggles had began in 2002 after Otto Makkinen left the team due to a motorsport sabbatical and only worsened after Imre Füty left the sport the following year. In 2004 and 2005 Jordan finished last place with 2004 being an exceptionally bad year financially for the team.
=== GP2 Series Team Ownership ===
Shortly following Ricci's 2005 return to Formula One, the Italian driver joined forces with Coloni. Ricci Motor Sport had a team, run by Coloni, racing in the 2005 Italian Formula 3000 season. They won that title, then moved across to GP2 with RMSI in 2006.
