Ferrari junior driver Antonio Giovinazzi drove 2 cars during the testing window this week. Both Sauber and Ferrari gave him on track opportunities and he admits he feels much better for it.
Working really hard, the 24-year-old confirmed it was very tiring but worth it. He finished 2nd on the timesheet yesterday, less than 0.100 behind the experienced Bottas.
“To be at the wheel of a Ferrari is always a privilege and it was a fantastic feeling,” confirmed Giovinazzi.
“We did a lot of laps (148), but I really enjoyed it. We had an interesting programme to work on, with various things to test and different tyre compounds to try.”
“The test was productive, and delivered a really big amount of data to correlate with that from the simulator.”

On Tuesday, the Italian drove 135 laps in the Sauber finishing as high as 8th. Perhaps he’s an extra one to add to the 2019 Ferrari driver equation.
