In 1983 Fabi made his debut in Formula One with Osella at the Brazilian Grand Prix. Despite the car's lack of competivity, which marred his season, Fabi was able to show form, regularly outqualifying his team mate Piercarlo Ghinzani. In 1984 he shared a Brabham Formula One drive with his brother Teo, deputising for him when Teo's commitments to CART racing in the USA took precedence. After his opportunities in Formula One dried up, Corrado Fabi raced briefly in CART before retiring to look after the family business.
