In a significant move for both Antonio Giovinazzi and Ferrari, the Italian racing team has announced a multi-year contract extension for the accomplished driver. Giovinazzi will continue to be a key figure representing the iconic Prancing Horse in endurance competitions, alongside his responsibilities as Reserve Driver for the Scuderia Ferrari HP team.
This extension underscores the solid partnership between the professional driver and the Maranello-based company, which has seen Giovinazzi achieve several notable successes. Among these achievements stands the remarkable victory at the Centenary 24 Hours of Le Mans in June 2023, where Ferrari marked its return to the top class of endurance racing after a hiatus of five decades. Driving the number 51 Ferrari 499P, Giovinazzi, along with teammates Alessandro Pier Guidi and James Calado, triumphed in the pivotal fourth round of the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC).
Currently, Giovinazzi is competing in the FIA World Endurance Championship for the third consecutive season. He is part of a team that includes one of the two Ferrari 499P cars entered by the official racing team, AF Corse. Throughout his endurance racing career, the 29-year-old has participated in 20 WEC races, securing three victories to date. These wins include his memorable Le Mans triumph in 2023, along with victories at the 6 Hours of Imola and the 6 Hours of Spa in 2025. His accomplishments also feature three Hyperpole positions, achieved at COTA in 2024, Qatar, and Italy during the current season, alongside seven podium finishes.

Reflecting on his journey, Giovinazzi expressed deep gratitude and enthusiasm for his continued association with Ferrari. "Eight years ago my adventure with Ferrari began; for me, it is much more than just a team—it’s a family," said Antonio Giovinazzi. "Renewing today means continuing a challenge that excites me every day in an environment where people, teamwork, and ambition matter. Being an official driver in the WEC and a third driver in Formula 1 is a commitment I embrace with great pride and motivation. Thank you to Ferrari for the renewed trust: growing up with these colors is something special. I can’t wait to live the next chapters of this story with the commitment, passion, and hunger for results that have always accompanied me."
As Giovinazzi continues to make strides in both endurance racing and Formula 1, the renewed contract marks a significant chapter in his career.
