Antonio Giovinazzi (born 14 December 1993 in Martina Franca, Taranto, Italy) is an Italian racing driver who competed in the 2015 DMSB Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters Championship as a stand-in driver for Audi Sport Team Phoenix.[1] Giovinazzi, who was leading the FIA European Formula 3 Championship at the time of his DTM debut, would replace a temporarily banned Timo Scheider after the former Champion's infamous incident at the Red Bull Ring.[2]
Background[]
Giovinazzi started his racing career after seven years of karting, joining Formula Pilota China in 2012.[3] Six wins and a series of strong performances gave him a début title, with the Italian promoted to the FIA European Formula 3 Championship in 2013.[3] He also competed in the British Formula 3 Championship that season, taking a maiden win at Silverstone, as he finished as runner up in Britain.[3]
A switch of teams and priorities in 2014 saw Giovinazzi become a title contender in the European F3 Championship, as he claimed two wins on his way to sixth.[3] 2015 started brightly too, with the Italian leading the Championship at the halfway mark, before getting the call to driver for Audi Sport Team Phoenix in Moscow.[1] He was to continue in Formula 3 until the end of the season, with a potential DTM future in sight.
DTM History[]
Giovinizzi's DTM chance came after the events of the Red Bull Ring 2015 meeting, where Timo Scheider received a ban for 'Gamesmanship', having hit Robert Wickens into Pascal Wehrlein on the orders of Dr. Wolfgang Ullrich.[4] Audi Sport Team Phoenix invited him to take their second car for the DTM Moskau race weekend (with Scheider set to return for the Oschersleben round), with the Italian racer adopting the #93 as his race number.[5]
His début weekend started with nineteenth in the shorter 40 minute race on Saturday, with the Italian completing a trouble free race.[5]
