Antonio Fuoco (born 20 May 1996) is an Italian racing driver who is currently competing in the FIA World Endurance Championship for Ferrari AF Corse in the Ferrari 499P. He also serves as a development driver for the Scuderia Ferrari Formula One team and is a junior driver for the Competizione GT. He previously competed in Formula 2 for Charouz Racing System, and is a former member of the Ferrari Driver Academy.[1] [2]
Born in Cariati, Fuoco debuted in karting at the age of four and raced in various European championships, working his way up from the junior ranks to progress through to the KF2 category by 2012, when he finished third in WSK Euro Series and fourth in the CIK-FIA European KF2 Championship.[3] [4]
In 2013, Fuoco graduated to single-seaters, racing in the newly launched Formula Renault 2.0 Alps series for Prema Junior.[5] He won races at Vallelunga, Imola, Monza and Mugello and amassed another three podiums.[6] He also competed in a round of the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 championship with the team, at Spa-Francorchamps.[7]
Fuoco stepped up to FIA European Formula Three Championship in 2014, continuing with Prema Powerteam.[8] He finished fifth in the driver standings, with two wins at Silverstone and Spielberg, and 10 podiums out of 33 races.
On 23 January 2015, it was announced Fuoco would be racing in the GP3 Series with Carlin Motorsport.[9] Despite scoring two podiums, Fuoco experienced an inconsistent season, including crashes at the Red Bull Ring, the Hungaroring, Spa and Monza.
In February 2016, following Carlin's departure from the series, it was announced Fuoco would be racing for Trident, where he collected his maiden victories and finished third in the championship.
In November 2016, it was announced that Fuoco would graduate to the series, reunite with Prema and partner fellow Ferrari junior and GP3 champion Charles Leclerc for the 2017 season.[10]
In October 2018, Fuoco partook in the pre-season test at Valencia with GEOX Dragon and the following month, was named the team's reserve and test driver for the 2018-19 season.[11] [12] In January 2019, Dragon ran Fuoco in the rookie test at Marrakesh where he set the third best time in the overall classification.[13] [14]
On 23 June 2015, Fuoco had his first Formula One test with Ferrari during the two-day post-Austrian Grand Prix test in Spielberg at the Red Bull Ring.[15]
On 19 January 2019, when Mick Schumacher was confirmed as a Ferrari Driver Academy driver, it was also confirmed that Fuoco was no longer part of the Academy, but was instead promoted to Ferrari’s F1 simulator team.[16] [17]
He took part in the 2020 Young Driver Test for Ferrari alongside Robert Shwartzman. In December 2021, Fuoco took part in the post-season test at Yas Marina Circuit for Scuderia Ferrari.[18]
For the 2023 season, Fuoco joined the Ferrari AF Corse outfit in the Le Mans Hypercar category of the World Endurance Championship, partnering Miguel Molina and Nicklas Nielsen in a Ferrari 499P.[19] The opening round at the 1000 Miles of Sebring began with a positive surprise, as Fuoco took the brand's first pole in the top class of the Championship.[20] In 2024, Fuoco, along with Nielsen and Molina of the number 50 Ferrari AF Corse team, won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in the Hypercar category.
