Antonio Fuoco

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 is a former member of the Ferrari Driver Academy. Fuoco won the 2024 24 Hours of Le Mans alongside Miguel Molina and Nicklas Nielsen.

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.

In 2013, Fuoco graduated to single-seaters, racing in the newly launched Formula Renault 2.0 Alps series for Prema Junior. He won races at Vallelunga, Imola, Monza and Mugello and amassed another three podiums. He also competed in a round of the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 championship with the team, at Spa-Francorchamps.

Fuoco stepped up to FIA European Formula Three Championship in 2014, continuing with Prema Powerteam. He finished fifth in the driver standings, with two wins at Silverstone and Spielberg, and ten podiums out of 33 races.[citation needed]

On 23 January 2015, it was announced Fuoco would be racing in the GP3 Series with Carlin Motorsport. Despite scoring two podiums, Fuoco experienced an inconsistent season, including crashes at the Red Bull Ring, the Hungaroring, Spa and Monza.[citation needed]

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.[citation needed]

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.

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. In January 2019, Dragon ran Fuoco in the rookie test at Marrakesh where he set the third best time in the overall classification.
