Antonio Giovinazzi (born 14 December 1993) is an Italian formula racing driver. He was the 2015 FIA European Formula 3 Championship runner-up and currently competes in the GP2 Series.

Career

Karting

He raced in karting from 2006 to 2012 and became the champion in the Italian National Trophy 60cc and Euro Trophy 60, both in 2006.[1]

Formula Pilota China

Giovinazzi began his single seater career by competing in Formula Pilota China in 2012.[2] He finished as the overall champion in his debut season with a total of six wins. He also raced for the BVM team in the last round of the 2012 Formula Abarth season at Monza. Despite winning two races and finishing in second place in one, he did not receive any points since he was a guest driver.[3]

FIA European Formula 3 Championship

In 2013, he participated in the FIA European Formula 3 Championship with the Double R Racing team.[4] He scored his first points at Brands Hatch after finishing 11th and 9th in two out of three races.[5] In 2014, he signed with Carlin to compete in the 2014 FIA European Formula 3 Championship season.[6]

British Formula 3 Championship

He also competed in the 2013 British Formula 3 season alongside Sean Gelael.[7] He claimed his maiden win in F3 at Silverstone.[8]

Masters of Formula 3

He made his debut in the 2013 Masters of Formula 3 on 7 July 2013, finishing in the 10th position.[9]

GP2 Series

Giovinazzi will step up to the series with Prema Powerteam for the 2016 season alongside Red Bull Junior and 2014 Formula Renault 3.5 runner-up Pierre Gasly.[10]

After a poor start by finishing outside the points and losing reverse grid pole in the first two rounds, Giovinazzi scored victories in both the feature and sprint races in Baku, becoming the first driver to do 'the double' since Davide Valsecchi in 2012.

Formula One

In September 2016, it was announced that Giovinazzi would perform simulator work for Scuderia Ferrari.[11]
