Announced as a fulltime member of Ferrari’s new Hypercar program, Antonio Giovinazzi will keep his links with the Scuderia’s Formula One team, remaining the main reserve driver for the Maranello outfit. Ferrari’s plan is to have the driver from Martina Franca available at 20 of the 23 Grand Prix scheduled for this year, as his schedule in the WEC only comes with three clashing events. Giovinazzi will be racing in Spa during the Azerbaijan Grand Prix weekend, in Monza during the British Grand Prix and in Bahrain on the same weekend as Formula One will be in Brazil. In these three occasions, it will be Israel-born Robert Shwartzman who will be on call as Ferrari’s reserve driver, the young driver keeping the same role as he had in 2022, as he’ll be back in Maranello, working on the team’s simulator, during the 20 Grand Prix in which Giovinazzi will be available at the track.
