Antonio Giovinazzi’s words:

In reality, I always had confidence in myself, I knew what I had inside, my abilities, and I was just waiting for the right opportunity to prove it. I’m happy to have had that chance and to have been able to seize it. I thank Antonello Coletta and Amato Ferrari for believing in me.” – Antonio Giovinazzi concluded.
