Italian
Antonio Fuoco is an Italian racing driver and long-standing member of the Ferrari Driver Academy, who spent two seasons in the FIA Formula 2 Championship before building a successful career in sportscars.
Junior career
Fuoco joined the Ferrari Driver Academy in 2015, becoming one of the most representative graduates of Maranello's junior programme. He raced in the GP3 Series, and in 2016 — after Carlin left the category — switched to Trident, where he took his maiden wins and finished third in the championship.
Formula 2
Fuoco stepped up to FIA Formula 2 in 2017 with Prema, lining up alongside future Ferrari star Charles Leclerc. He won at Monza in front of the home Ferrari fans and was rated among the leading rookies of the season.
For 2018, Ferrari arranged for Fuoco to join the new F2 entrant Charouz Racing System, where he partnered Renault Academy driver Louis Delétraz. He took feature-race victories at Monaco and Abu Dhabi during the campaign, confirming his speed at the front of the field.
After F2
Though he did not graduate to a Formula 1 race seat, Fuoco remained closely tied to Ferrari, moving into the marque's sportscar and endurance programmes. He became a works Ferrari endurance driver, a role that put him at the centre of the manufacturer's return to the top class of the World Endurance Championship.
