F1 | Giovinazzi in Alfa Romeo Sauber: “It's the realization of a dream” [VIDEO]

Antonio Giovinazzi will be a starter in Formula 1 next year. The driver from Martina Franca will race with Alfa Romeo Sauber and will be Kimi Raikkonen's teammate. A call awaited since 2011 for our colours, given that after Jarno Trulli no Italian driver has ever raced in Formula again, with the exception of Giovinazzi himself, when at the beginning of 2017 he was again at the wheel of Sauber to replace the injured Wehrlein . The current third Ferrari driver spoke about his emotions during the Paddock Live Show broadcast on Sky Sport F1 HD.

“Delighted, it's the realization of a dream – Giovinazzi said to Federica Masolin. When I started in karting I always dreamed of becoming a Formula 1 driver. Thanks to Ferrari, which gave me the opportunity to be the third driver after the experience in GP2. I was at home this week, I got the call from Maurizio Arrivabene and he told me that I would be an Alfa Romeo Sauber driver next year. After the Melbourne message in 2017 it was the best call I could have received. Immediately afterwards I called my parents and you can only imagine what happened in Puglia. I called my parents, made sure my father wasn't driving and told him “We made it”. After all the sacrifices we have made, starting from mini karts and arriving at GP2, we have finally managed to achieve this coveted goal."
