Giovinazzi joins Raikkonen at Sauber for 2019

Author: Agencies

BERN: Italian Antonio Giovinazzi will race for Sauber next season in a new lineup with former world champion Kimi Raikkonen, the Swiss-based Formula One team said on Tuesday. Giovinazzi, who had been the reserve driver, made two race starts last year as a replacement for the injured Pascal Wehrlein, who was dropped at the end of that season. The 24-year-old’s confirmation means Sweden’s Marcus Ericsson loses his race seat, although he will stay on as reserve and ‘brand ambassador’. “I am delighted to be joining the Alfa Romeo Sauber F1 Team. This is a dream come true, and it is a great pleasure to have the chance to race for this team,” said Giovinazzi. “As an Italian, it is a huge honour for me to represent a brand.”
