After starting in karting, Giovinazzi builds his path through the European formula categories. In 2013 he takes part in Formula Abarth, while in 2014 he competes in Italian Formula 4. In 2015 he contests the European Formula 3 Championship with the Jagonya Ayam with Carlin team, standing out for consistency of performance.

In 2017 comes his Formula 1 debut with Sauber, called up to replace Pascal Wehrlein in the first two races of the season. In the same year he enters Ferrari’s orbit on a permanent basis as a reserve driver. From 2019 to 2021 he contests three full seasons as a race driver with Alfa Romeo Racing, achieving as his best results two fifth places in 2019 and playing a significant role in the technical development of the car during the three-year period.
At the end of the 2021 season, having concluded his experience as a Formula 1 race driver, Giovinazzi remains linked to Ferrari as a simulator and development driver. At the same time he is included in the Endurance project of the Maranello manufacturer. From 2023 he is an official Ferrari AF Corse driver in the FIA World Endurance Championship, at the wheel of the Ferrari 499P Hypercar number 51.

In 2023 he secures the overall victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, bringing Ferrari back to success in the French classic after fifty years, in a line-up with Alessandro Pier Guidi and James Calado. The path continues with consistent top-level results, up to the 2025 season, when Giovinazzi becomes WEC Drivers’ World Champion, still at the wheel of the Ferrari 499P, also contributing to Ferrari’s Constructors’ title.
