Antonio Fuoco
Antonio Fuoco (born 20 May 1996) is an Italian professional racing driver competing in the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) for Ferrari AF Corse, where he drives the Ferrari 499P Hypercar alongside teammates Miguel Molina and Nicklas Nielsen.[1][2] He also serves as a test and simulator driver for Scuderia Ferrari in Formula One, a role that includes development work and occasional on-track sessions, such as replacing Lewis Hamilton during the first practice (FP1) at the 2025 Mexican Grand Prix.[3] Born in Cariati, Calabria, Fuoco began his motorsport career in karting at the age of four, achieving podium finishes in European championships like the WSK Euro Series and CIK-FIA European KF2 in 2012 before transitioning to single-seater racing.[1] Fuoco's junior career progressed rapidly, marked by his entry into the Ferrari Driver Academy (FDA) in 2014, which supported his development through various formulae.[1] In 2013, he won the Formula Renault 2.0 Alps championship with Prema Powerteam, securing victories at circuits including Vallelunga, Imola, Monza, and Mugello.[3] The following year, he competed in the FIA European Formula 3 Championship with Prema, claiming wins at Silverstone and the Red Bull Ring while finishing with 10 podiums overall.[1] His time in GP3 Series (2015–2016) with Carlin and Trident yielded multiple podiums and wins, paving the way for a strong 2017 Formula 2 season with Prema Racing, highlighted by a victory at Monza and three podium finishes, ending fifth in the championship.[1][4] Since joining Scuderia Ferrari as a development and test driver in 2018, Fuoco has focused on endurance racing while contributing to Ferrari's Formula One program, including his first F1 test in 2015.[3] His endurance highlights include a victory in the LMGTE Am class at the 2021 8 Hours of Portimão in the WEC, an Italian Pro-Am class title in GT3 racing in 2019, and a win in the 2025 FIA GT World Cup at Macau.[1][2][5] Most notably, in 2024, Fuoco secured overall victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans driving the #50 Ferrari 499P, marking Ferrari's second consecutive win in the Hypercar class after 311 laps of mixed-weather racing.[6] In the 2025 FIA World Endurance Championship, Fuoco and his #50 Ferrari AF Corse teammates finished third in the Hypercar drivers' standings with 98 points, helping Ferrari secure the manufacturers' championship; their 2024 Le Mans success was followed by a disqualification from fourth place at the 2025 event due to a technical infringement.[7][8]Early life
Birth and upbringing
Antonio Fuoco was born on 20 May 1996 in Cariati, a small coastal town in the Calabria region of southern Italy.[1] He grew up in the coastal environment of Cariati in Calabria.[9] Fuoco's family background instilled an early fascination with engines and speed, evident in his childhood memories of tinkering and exploring mechanical interests.[10] Details on his formal education remain limited. This foundational interest in mechanics would soon transition into his first steps in karting.Introduction to karting
Antonio Fuoco's introduction to motorsport came at the age of four, when he began karting at local tracks in Italy, sparked by a family fascination with engines and speed that he shared with his father and brother.[10] Frequently accompanying his family to venues like the Nika track near his hometown of Cariati in Calabria, Fuoco's early outings were driven by a childhood dream of becoming a Ferrari driver, fostering his initial enthusiasm for racing. His first race at the Nika track resulted in his debut victory.[10] In the early 2000s, as a young child up to age ten, Fuoco participated in entry-level mini-kart classes such as the 60 Mini, competing in local events and soon achieving successes, including wins in junior categories.[11] These experiences allowed him to build confidence and basic techniques in a supportive environment, supported by his family's sacrifices to enable his track time.[10] By around 2006–2008, Fuoco gained his first European-level experience in junior karting categories, competing successfully and securing wins in categories like 60 Mini.[12] This foundational period set the stage for his later advancements in karting.Racing career
Karting achievements
Fuoco transitioned to the KF3 category in 2009 after competing in the 60 Mini class, securing third place in the Italian Open Masters that year.[11][13] In 2010, he continued racing in KF3, achieving second place in the Italian Open Masters and fourth position in the WSK World Series, demonstrating steady improvement in national and emerging international competitions.[11][14] During 2011, Fuoco competed across both KF3 and KF2 categories, finishing fifth in the CIK-FIA World Cup for KF3, eighth in the WSK Euro Series, and sixth in the WSK Final Cup for KF2; his performances culminated in winning the Supercorso Federale CSAI, which granted him selection to the Ferrari Driver Academy and tests in Formula Abarth.[11][15][16] His final season in karting, 2012, saw Fuoco excel in the KF2 class as an official Kosmic Kart Racing Department driver, earning second place in the KF2 Winter Cup, third in the WSK Euro Series (including the Super Master Series), and fourth in the CIK-FIA European Championship, with consistent podiums highlighting his competitive edge.[11][15][1] Throughout his karting tenure from ages 10 to 16, Fuoco progressed from Italian national events like the Open Masters and Trofeo delle Industrie—where he also claimed victory in the latter during 2009—to high-profile international series such as the WSK and CIK-FIA championships, amassing regular top-five finishes that attracted sponsorships from teams including CRG and Kosmic, and earning acclaim for his consistent and calculated approach to racing.[11][13][15] This foundation in karting directly supported his move to single-seater racing in 2013.[11]Formula Renault
In 2013, Antonio Fuoco transitioned from karting to single-seater racing, making his debut in the Formula Renault 2.0 Alps Series with the Prema Junior team.[11] As a direct graduate from karting with no prior car racing experience, he faced the task of adapting to the distinct handling characteristics of open-wheel formula cars, which feature wings, suspension setups, and tire management absent in karts, as well as learning race strategies tailored to multi-round regional formats emphasizing qualifying and point accumulation over pure sprint events.[11] Competing against more seasoned drivers, including experienced teammates, Fuoco quickly overcame these hurdles through intensive preseason testing and on-track development.[17] Fuoco's adaptation proved highly successful, as he dominated the Alps Series from the outset, clinching both the overall and junior championships with a race to spare.[17] He amassed 245 points across 14 races, securing victory in six events—at Vallelunga, Imola (twice), Monza, Red Bull Ring, and Mugello—while achieving 11 podiums, five pole positions, and five fastest laps.[18] His consistent performance, including a double win at Imola in the season finale, underscored Prema Junior's strong setup and Fuoco's rapid learning curve in managing tire wear and overtaking in wheel-to-wheel combat.[11] To gain exposure in a more international context, Fuoco made a one-off appearance for Prema Powerteam in the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 at Spa-Francorchamps in June.[19] Over the weekend's two races, he qualified on pole for the second event and delivered a standout victory in Race 2, fending off challenges from established rivals like Luca Ghiotto and Pierre Gasly to claim the podium finish.[20] This result highlighted his versatility in the higher-stakes, pan-European series despite limited preparation.[21] Fuoco's championship triumph in the Alps Series marked a seamless entry into formula racing and set the stage for his advancement to Formula 3 in 2014.[17]Formula Three
In 2014, Antonio Fuoco progressed to the FIA Formula 3 European Championship, joining the Prema Powerteam squad as a Ferrari Driver Academy member. Driving the Dallara F312 chassis powered by a Mercedes engine, he competed across 33 races, securing fifth place in the drivers' standings with 255 points. His season tally included two victories, ten podium finishes, and two fastest laps, contributing significantly to Prema's dominant teams' championship win with eleven total victories.[22][19][23] Fuoco's standout performances highlighted his growing racecraft, particularly in overtaking maneuvers under pressure. At Silverstone in April, he claimed his maiden F3 win in the second race, starting from pole and maintaining control through a competitive field without error. Later at the Red Bull Ring (Spielberg) in August, he executed a decisive overtake on Lucas Auer at the first corner to secure second place initially, inheriting the victory after Antonio Giovinazzi received a time penalty. These results demonstrated his ability to capitalize on early-race opportunities and adapt to variable conditions.[24][25][26] A podium at the season-ending Hockenheim round in October further underscored Fuoco's consistency, where he finished third in race one despite intense battles. His collaboration within Prema, alongside teammate Esteban Ocon—who clinched the drivers' title—and Dennis van de Laar, fostered a synergistic team environment that maximized setup optimizations and strategic decisions across the European circuits. This strong collective effort propelled Prema to the forefront of the series.[27][28] Fuoco's solid F3 campaign built essential momentum for his advancement to more senior single-seater categories.[22]GP3 Series
Antonio Fuoco entered the GP3 Series in 2015 with Carlin Motorsport, marking his step up to a Formula One support series known for its high-speed Dallara chassis and compact weekend format featuring a feature race on Saturday and a sprint race on Sunday with a partially reversed grid. As a Ferrari Driver Academy member, Fuoco adapted to the intense schedule across 18 races at nine European and international circuits, treating the season as a learning curve after his Formula 3 experience. He secured two podium finishes—third place in the Red Bull Ring sprint race and second in the Abu Dhabi feature race—contributing to a solid sixth-place finish in the drivers' championship with 88 points, the highest scorer for Carlin that year.[29][30][31] For 2016, Fuoco switched to Trident following Carlin's withdrawal from the series, allowing him to build on his prior experience in a more competitive environment. He claimed his first GP3 victories—winning the Silverstone sprint race in damp conditions and the Hockenheim feature race—while securing multiple pole positions, including at Monza and Sepang, to end the season third in the standings with 157 points behind champion Charles Leclerc of ART Grand Prix. Fuoco's consistent podiums, totaling eight, highlighted his rivalry with Leclerc, as the pair frequently battled for top honors in a field that included future Formula 1 talents, with Fuoco's strong qualifying pace and racecraft proving key to Trident's team efforts.[32][33][34] This two-year progression in GP3, blending adaptation to its dual-race structure with direct competition against drivers like Leclerc, positioned Fuoco for advancement to the FIA Formula 2 Championship in 2017.[2]FIA Formula 2 Championship
Antonio Fuoco competed in the FIA Formula 2 Championship for two seasons, from 2017 to 2018, marking his final years in open-wheel racing before transitioning to other categories.[35] In 2017, Fuoco joined Prema Racing alongside Charles Leclerc, finishing the season eighth in the drivers' standings with 98 points.[36] His campaign included one victory, awarded in the Monza feature race after Luca Ghiotto received a penalty for a last-lap incident.[37] Despite podium finishes at the Red Bull Ring and Spa-Francorchamps, Fuoco struggled with consistency, often battling mechanical issues and intense competition from top talents.[38] Switching to the newcomer Charouz Racing System for 2018, Fuoco improved to seventh overall with 141 points, securing two wins in feature and sprint races at Monaco and Abu Dhabi, respectively.[35][39] These results highlighted his adaptability amid a midfield team, though he faced stiff rivalry from future Formula One drivers such as George Russell, who clinched the title, Lando Norris, and Alexander Albon.[40] Fuoco's performances overlapped with his role as a Scuderia Ferrari development driver, contributing simulator work while pursuing superlicense points.[41]Formula One involvement
Antonio Fuoco joined the Ferrari Driver Academy in 2015, where he served as a development driver, focusing on simulator sessions and private testing to support the team's Formula One program. His first on-track experience with a Ferrari F1 car came that year during a two-day post-season test at the Red Bull Ring, driving the SF15-T and completing multiple laps to gather data on car setup and performance. Throughout his tenure in the Academy, Fuoco contributed extensively to simulator-based development, aiding in aerodynamic evaluations and race strategy simulations.[41][42] In early 2019, Fuoco transitioned out of the full Ferrari Driver Academy racing program but was elevated to Scuderia Ferrari's official test driver role, continuing his support for junior talents while participating in occasional on-track tests. This included a 2019 in-season test at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, where he drove the SF90 to provide feedback on tire compounds and chassis balance. His work extended to crossover testing in other series, such as a reserve role with the Dragon team in Formula E during the 2018/19 season, which informed Ferrari's understanding of electric powertrain dynamics relevant to future F1 regulations.[41][43][44] Fuoco's first official Formula One practice session came at the 2025 Mexico City Grand Prix, where he substituted for Lewis Hamilton in FP1, completing 29 laps in the SF-25 and finishing 20th with a best time 2.474 seconds off the pace. During the session, he focused on gathering real-world data to correlate with simulator predictions, providing valuable setup feedback on the high-altitude circuit's unique demands, such as reduced engine power and tire degradation. This outing marked a significant milestone, being the first time an Italian driver had steered a Ferrari in an official F1 weekend session in 16 years.[45][46] As of 2025, Fuoco maintains his position as a Ferrari development and reserve driver, emphasizing simulator duties and talent mentoring for emerging academy members rather than pursuing a full-time race seat. This role allows him to balance his commitments in the FIA World Endurance Championship with ongoing contributions to Ferrari's F1 efforts.[41][42]GT racing
Fuoco made his debut in GT racing in 2020, competing in a one-off appearance for SMP Racing in the Ferrari 488 GT3 at the 1000 km of Paul Ricard round of the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup, where the #72 entry secured pole position in Qualifying 3.[47] He joined Iron Lynx for a full-season campaign in the Pro class of the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup starting in 2021, driving the #71 Ferrari 488 GT3 alongside teammates such as Callum Ilott and Davide Rigon.[48] That year, the team achieved a fourth-place finish in the Pro class standings, highlighted by a fourth-place result at the 1000 km of Paul Ricard despite post-race penalties.[49] In 2022, Fuoco continued with Iron Lynx, partnering with drivers including Daniel Serra and Alessio Rovera, and the squad claimed a victory at the 1000 km of Paul Ricard, leading a one-two finish for Ferrari.[50] The season culminated with a runner-up position at the Barcelona finale, helping Iron Lynx secure strong points in the Pro class.[51] In 2021, Fuoco briefly ventured into prototype racing with a one-off stint in the LMP2 class of the European Le Mans Series at the 4 Hours of Le Castellet, finishing fourth overall with Cetilar Racing in the #47 Dallara P217. This experience provided early exposure to endurance team dynamics ahead of his transition to Ferrari's Hypercar program in 2023.[52] Fuoco returned to GT competition in 2024 with Cetilar Racing in the GTD class of the IMSA SportsCar Championship, piloting the #47 Ferrari 296 GT3 in select endurance events. At the Rolex 24 at Daytona, he shared the car with Roberto Lacorte, Giorgio Sernagiotto, and Eddie Cheever Jr., enduring multiple incidents but completing 722 laps to finish 10th in class, 69 laps behind the winner.[53] The team rebounded at the 12 Hours of Sebring, where Fuoco's lap times earned pole position in GTD following a disqualification of a rival entry, and the #47 finished second in class after 314 laps, trailing the winner by 19 laps. In November 2025, Fuoco won the FIA GT World Cup at Macau, securing victory in the main race from pole position aboard the Ferrari 296 GT3 for AF Corse.[54]Hypercar racing
Antonio Fuoco entered hypercar racing in 2023 as part of Ferrari AF Corse's factory program, piloting the #50 Ferrari 499P Le Mans Hypercar in the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC).[2] His debut came at the 1000 Miles of Sebring, where he claimed pole position with a lap time of 1:45.067, marking Ferrari's first pole in the Hypercar class.[55] The #50 car, shared with Miguel Molina and Nicklas Nielsen, finished on the podium in third place at Sebring, contributing to Ferrari's strong start in the new LMH regulation era.[56] Throughout the season, the trio secured three consecutive podiums for the team, including two for the #50 entry, helping Ferrari achieve multiple top-three results in the Hypercar class.[57] In 2024, Fuoco continued with the #50 Ferrari 499P alongside Molina and Nielsen, finishing second in the WEC Hypercar drivers' standings with 115 points from eight races.[58] The season's highlight was their victory at the 92nd 24 Hours of Le Mans, where Fuoco, Molina, and Nielsen navigated changeable weather conditions to claim the overall win by a margin of over a lap, securing Ferrari's second consecutive Le Mans triumph in the Hypercar category.[59] This result marked Fuoco's sole race win of the year, underscoring the car's reliability and the drivers' strategic prowess in endurance racing.[6] As of November 2025, Fuoco remains with the #50 Ferrari 499P for his third WEC season, partnering Molina and Nielsen to sit fifth in the Hypercar drivers' standings with 75 points.[7] The trio earned their season's lone victory at the Qatar 1812 km opener, leading a historic Ferrari 1-2-3 finish in the Hypercar class.[60] Fuoco has demonstrated strong qualifying form, including pole position at the 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps with a 1:59.617 lap, contributing to Ferrari's early-season dominance.[61] At the season finale in Bahrain, the #50 car finished third, helping Ferrari clinch the manufacturers' and drivers' titles overall while maintaining ties to Fuoco's reserve role with the Scuderia Ferrari F1 team.[62]Racing record
