Antonio Giovinazzi (born 14 December 1993 in Martina Franca, Taranto, Apulia, Italy) is an Italian racing driver and Ferrari Driver Academy member, who made his debut in the FIA Formula One World Championship at the start of the 2017 Australian Grand Prix as a reserve driver for Sauber.[1] Giovinazzi stood in for Pascal Wehrlein until the German racer was deemed fit enough to race after the 2017 Chinese Grand Prix, with the Italian racer subsequently getting a testing role with Haas for the rest of the season.[2][3]
Giovinazzi subsequently served as Sauber's test and reserve driver during 2018, before gaining a full race seat with the Swiss squad for 2019, replacing Marcus Ericsson.[4] The move was arranged by Ferrari, whose contract with Sauber allowed them to place a junior driver in one of the team's two seats.[4]
Previously, Giovinazzi was British Formula Three runner-up in 2013 to Jordan King, European Formula Three runner-up in 2015 to Felix Rosenqvist, and GP2 Series runner-up in 2016 to Pierre Gasly. In late 2016, he was announced as Ferrari simulator driver before promotion to third driver for the 2017.
For the 2019 season, Giovinazzi partners Kimi Räikkönen at Alfa Romeo.
