Antonio Giovinazzi must seize the opportunity to learn from Kimi Raikkonen at Sauber according to Vitantonio Liuzzi. The former Toro Rosso, Force India and HRT driver believe that Giovinazzi has a great chance to learn from one of the best in his full debut season.
Speaking to Corriere dello Sport, the 38-year-old said that he was very happy for his compatriot to earn a drive in F1, his debut finally ending the drought of Italian drivers in F1.
"In the era of the so-called 'pay drivers', Italy really started to struggle. Now we don't just have the Ferrari name to cheer for so I'm delighted for Antonio.
"He will need to try to extract as much information as possible from Kimi Raikkonen, which will not be easy from a driver as cold as the Finn.
"But in terms of results, comparing with such a good driver represents a great opportunity and Giovinazzi must not be presumptuous.

"In F1 it's easy to get burned, as he almost risked a year ago," he added, referring to his one-off race for the team in China last season.
