Antonio Fuoco (born 20 May 1996) is an Italian professional racing driver competing in the FIA World Endurance Championship with Ferrari AF Corse, piloting the Ferrari 499P. Additionally, he functions as a development driver for the Scuderia Ferrari Formula One team and holds a junior driver position within Ferrari Competizione GT. Fuoco previously belonged to the Ferrari Driver Academy.
Karting
Originating from Cariati, Fuoco embarked on his karting journey at four years old. He progressed through various European competitions, reaching the KF2 class by 2012, where he achieved third place in the WSK Euro Series and ranked fourth in the CIK-FIA European KF2 Championship.
Formula Renault
Fuoco made the move to single-seater racing in 2013, joining Prema Junior for the Formula Renault 2.0 Alps championship. His campaign included victories at Vallelunga, Imola, Monza, and Mugello, along with three more podium finishes. He also took part in a round of the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 at Spa-Francorchamps.
Formula Three
In 2014, Fuoco stepped up to the FIA European Formula Three Championship with Prema Powerteam, concluding the season fifth overall. His record featured two wins at Silverstone and Spielberg, as well as ten podiums across 33 races.
GP3 Series
On 23 January 2015, Fuoco entered the GP3 Series driving for Carlin Motorsport. Although he secured two podium finishes, his season was inconsistent and marred by incidents at circuits including the Red Bull Ring, Hungaroring, Spa, and Monza.
Following Carlin’s withdrawal from the series in February 2016, Fuoco transferred to Trident, where he claimed his first wins and ended third in the championship standings.
FIA Formula 2 Championship
By November 2016, Fuoco progressed to the FIA Formula 2 Championship, rejoining Prema and teaming up with fellow Ferrari junior and GP3 champion Charles Leclerc for the 2017 season.
FIA Formula E
In October 2018, Fuoco participated in testing sessions with GEOX Dragon at Valencia Street Circuit and was appointed reserve and test driver for their 2018-19 Formula E campaign. In January 2019, he competed in the rookie test held at Marrakesh Street Circuit, achieving the third-fastest time overall.
Formula One
Fuoco’s initial experience in Formula One came on 23 June 2015 when he tested with Ferrari during a two-day post-Austrian Grand Prix session at the Red Bull Ring. On 19 January 2019, coinciding with Mick Schumacher’s induction into the Ferrari Driver Academy, Fuoco was elevated from academy ranks to join Ferrari’s F1 simulator team. He took part in Ferrari’s Young Driver Test in 2020 alongside Robert Shwartzman and participated in post-season testing at Yas Marina Circuit in December of both 2021 and 2024.
Hypercar career
In 2023, Fuoco became a member of Ferrari’s AF Corse squad competing in the Le Mans Hypercar division of the World Endurance Championship. Alongside teammates Miguel Molina and Nicklas Nielsen, he drove the Ferrari 499P. During the season opener at the 1000 Miles of Sebring, Fuoco achieved Ferrari’s maiden pole position in the top category of this championship. The following year, Fuoco, Nielsen, and Molina triumphed in the Hypercar class at the 24 Hours of Le Mans driving the No. 50 Ferrari AF Corse entry.
