During the annual Christmas lunch at Maranello, Ferrari president Sergio Marchionne announced Antonio Giovinazzi will be joining the team as reserve driver. The Italian has certainly impressed in recent years, none more so than this season when he performed excellently to challenge for the GP2 title in his debut season, losing out at the final race to team-mate Pierre Gasly. Is he the next Italian to race for the Scuderia?
