The Italian driver is the first one to be confirmed with Prema Racing for their first season in the category.
Antonio Giovinazzi raced in FIA Formula 3 last year, finishing runner-up behind unstoppable Felix Rosenqvist, even though he led the first part of the championship. He also tasted DTM last year with Audi in Moscow in order to replace Timo Scheider after his incident at the Red Bull Ring with Wickens and Wehrlein.
The Italian driver previously won the 2012 Formula Pilota China and raced in various Formula 3 championships, especially in British F3 of which he finished runner-up in 2013.
“I am delighted to become a part of Prema, a prestigious team with a huge motorsport culture. This is a great opportunity for me, because they always showed that they are the best possible choice for a young driver, and I am determined to take the best out of this chance by working as good as I possibly can. I want to thank Prema, my sponsor Jagonya Ayam and the Gelael family as well as my management, MSM”
