Giovinazzi signs new multi-year Ferrari deal

Ferrari has extended Antonio Giovinazzi's factory contract ahead of the FIA WEC 6 Hours of São Paulo this weekend.

The Italian marque has awarded the 31-year-old racer a new multi-year deal that will ensure he continues to compete as a works driver for the 'Prancing Horse' in endurance racing and retain his role as reserve for Scuderia Ferrari HP in Formula 1.

This new contract comes amid a hugely successful 2025 FIA WEC campaign for the Centenary Le Mans winner. Along with teammates Alessandro Pier Guidi and James Calado, Giovinazzi currently leads the FIA WEC Hypercar World Endurance Drivers’ Championship after wins at Imola and Spa and podium finishes at Qatar and Le Mans in the No. 51 499P.

To date, the Apulian native has participated in 20 FIA World Endurance Championship races with Ferrari. Nineteen of those have come in the top class since 2023 as part of the 499P program.

“Eight years ago, I began my adventure with Ferrari, which for me is much more than a team: it’s a family. Renewing today means continuing a challenge that gets me charged up every day, in an environment where people, teamwork and ambition matter,” Giovinazzi says.

“Being an official driver in the WEC and the third driver in Formula 1 is a commitment that I am honoured and excited to undertake. I want to thank Ferrari for their continued faith in me: growing in these team colours is truly special.

"I can’t wait for the next chapters of this story, which I will embark on with the commitment, passion and hunger for results that have always been part of me.”
