Antonio Giovinazzi

Senior teams operate under conditions of repeated public failure. The job is not avoiding the next setback, it is staying composed enough through it to make the next decision well, and the one after that. Recovering trajectory after a visible career reset, while the same competitive pressure continues, is a discipline most leadership development programmes do not address.

Antonio Giovinazzi is a former Formula 1 driver and Le Mans 24 Hours winner who speaks on composure, recovery and team execution under pressure at the highest level of motorsport.

Why organisations work with Antonio Giovinazzi

  • A live case study in returning to the top of a discipline after being publicly cut. Dropped from F1 by Alfa Romeo at the end of 2021, he won Le Mans in a factory Ferrari programme eighteen months later.
  • Inside view of one of the most-watched team performances in modern motorsport: the Ferrari 499P #51 win at the 2023 Le Mans centenary, ending Ferrari’s overall absence from victory lane since 1965.
  • Three full F1 seasons partnering Kimi Raikkonen at Sauber and Alfa Romeo Racing. The lessons are about points-finishing in a midfield car, not winning from pole.
  • Continuing reserve and test driver role at Scuderia Ferrari since 2017, alongside an active works endurance race seat. The view is current, not retrospective.

Biography

Ferrari had not won the 24 Hours of Le Mans outright since 1965. In June 2023, on the centenary running of the race, the #51 Ferrari 499P crossed the line first. Antonio Giovinazzi shared the car with Alessandro Pier Guidi and James Calado.

The route there was not linear. Giovinazzi reached Formula 1 debut in 2017 with a debut for Sauber, replacing the injured Pascal Wehrlein. He then spent three full seasons partnering Kimi Raikkonen at Sauber and Alfa Romeo Racing, scoring his career-best fifth place at the 2019 Brazilian Grand Prix. At the end of 2021, the team did not renew him.

What follows is the part organisations tend to be interested in. Rather than treat the F1 exit as the end, he stayed inside the Ferrari system as reserve driver, took a Formula E seat in 2022, and accepted the Ferrari works hypercar role for 2023. The result was Le Mans. In 2024, the same #51 car finished third, 36 seconds off the sister car that won.

He still drives at the front of FIA World Endurance Championship grids and remains on the Scuderia Ferrari F1 reserve roster. The talks draw on the discipline of the cockpit and the team behind it: composure when the result is public, recovery when the contract is not renewed, and how a three-driver crew makes a 24-hour race come down to seconds.
