Alfa Romeo driver, Antonio Giovinazzi will be leaving Formula 1 at the end of this season, Alfa Romeo confirmed. Giovinazzi is the first Italian to compete in a full F1 season since 2011 when he lined up for the team on the Melbourne grid in 2019, he has taken part in 59 races for Alfa Romeo, including 2 for Sauber in 2017. Antonio Giovinazzi has spent 3 full seasons for the Swiss-based team with the best result of 5th in the Brazilian Grand Prix in 2019.

Antonio Givoinazzi’s future at the team has been a subject of interest and speculation as many rumours surrounding him have been circulating since the summer break and that his departure from Alfa Romeo comes as no surprise. Ferrari provides engines to Alfa Romeo and Antonio Giovinazzi was affiliated with Ferrari as he came up from their academy. His exit from the team also means that Alfa Romeo will not have a single Ferrari driver in their lineup, the last time this happened was in 2017.

What did Antonio Givoinazzi had to say about his exit?

Giovinazzi’s departure opened the gates for Guanyu Zhou who will become the first Chinese driver in Formula 1 as Alfa Romeo confirmed his signing. Zhou is understood to have eased his way into a seat as he is backed by huge Chinese sponsors which will bring a lot of money to the team, something which Antonio Giovinazzi could not have matched.

@F1 is emotion, talent, cars, risk, speed. But when money rules it can be ruthless.
I believe in the surprise of an unexpected result, of big or small victories achieved thanks to one’s commitment.

Now the dream is reality.” With this, the 2022 Formula 1 driver lineup is complete and the world is looking forward to next year.
