Giovinazzi wrote his name in Ferrari folklore, as alongside James Calado and Alessando Pier Guidi, guided th⛦e famous Italian ma🌺nufacturer to their first victory at the Le Mans 24 Hours since 1965.

Their victory was momentous for a number of reasons, winning on Ferrari’s return to the championship as part of the new hypercar era, while breaking the♐ stranglehold Toyota have enjoyed in recent years.

Since making his F1 debut in 2017 with Sauber, it’s not been plain-saili🥀ng for Giovinazzi.

Take it back one year, his GP2 Series season at Prema alongside 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pierre Gasly was outstanding.

In his rookie year, Giovi🙈nazzi pushed Gasly, who had a lot more GP2 experience under his belt, to the title.

He was only handed his initial chance due to Pascal Wehrlein’s pre-season injury, while 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc’s꧟ incredible junior form earned him the Sauber seat over Giovinazzi for 2018.

Itও was 2019 when the team was rebranded as Alfa Romeo Giovinazzi got his chance in F1.

Alo🍃ngside 2007 F1 champion , Alfa Romeo had a great balance in two drivers at the start and end of their respect🍨ive careers.

Naturally, given his time away, Giovinazzi endured a slow start in 2019 relative to Raikkonen, who joined the team on the back of his strongest Ferrari season (during his second sti🔯nt at least).

By 2020, a general theme started to emerge with Giovinazzi having a clear edge in qualifying over the Finn, however, he could never make the most of it in terms o🐬f converting it into race results.

Despite a generally underwhelming year in ‘20, Giovinazzi got a third season with the team, remain🦋ing alongside Raikkonen.

While he bettered his previous two campaigns, it wasn’t enough to retain his seat for 2022, with Alfa Romeo opting for 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Valtteri Bottas and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Zhou Guanyu - an🌺 en🔯tirely new driver line-up for F1’s new era.

Giovinazzi’s chances of the Haas drive for F1 2023 were scuppered by a shunt in FP1 at the United States Grand Prix, putting the nail in the coffin for his chances ofꦿ remaining on the grid.

D꧟uring this time, the Italian’s focus wasn’t solely on returning F1, even though he remained part of F💫errari as their third driver.

His sole season in Formula E was diffic📖ult, but his motorsport career was given new life wh🎶en Ferrari announced in November 2022 they were returning to the elite class of the World Endurance Championship.

Giovinazzi would spearhead t🐲he Italian marquee’s charge, driving the 499P hyper꧅car.

It’s credit to Giovinazzi that Ferrari trusted him with the reins, ওalongside experienced sportscar duo Colado and Pier Guidi,🅘 to represent the team in sportscars’ toughest championship.

In what was a thꩲrilling 100th race at the 24 Hou𒁏rs of Le Mans, the #51 Ferrari saw off the #8 Toyota driven by ex-F1 drivers Sebastien Buemi and Brendon Hartley, as well as Ryo Hirakawa. 

Despite Pier Guidi having a 🅷trip into the gravel trap, Hirakawa made a mistake of his own in the final two hours to give Ferrari a crucial gap to take th🐬e ultimate victory.

While it’s important to acknowledge Ferrari had an advantage over Toyota due to the balance of performance change - Toyota’s minimꦰum weight was increased by 37kg, while Ferrari’s was only 24kg - it was still an incredible achievement. 

Aft♛er the race, Giovinazzi described winning as a ꦿ“dream came true”.

“When you are a ꦯkid and you are a racing driver, you have a few races that you 📖watch all the time

“It's the 2ꦏ4 Hours of Le Mans, Indianapolis and then, of course for me it was Monza F1 and so it was one of m💮y dreams. Today the dream came true.”

While o♑n the surface Giovinazzi’s F1 career was underwhelmingꦫ, he always demonstrated immense talent and speed.

Not everyone can win in F1 let alone win the world champion♈sꦍhip.

Giovinazzi’s success is another re♈minder that there is life after F1 and the end of your career in one category doesn’t mean you can’t win elsewhere.
