The Prancing Horse and its commitment to endurance racing were the focus of an event organised in Trento during the 2025 Festival dello Sport, which saw Ferrari official driver Antonio Giovinazzi take to the stage. Giovinazzi is a key player for the Maranello-based manufacturer in the top class of the FIA World Endurance Championship.

The Italian driver, who shares the number 51 499P with Alessandro Pier Guidi and James Calado – with whom he won the 2023 24 Hours of Le Mans and leads the 2025 Drivers’ World Championship standings – spoke with La Gazzetta dello Sport journalist Mario Salvini.

Many topics were discussed at the Regional Government Building in front of a large audience: the current season, which sees Ferrari defending its lead in the World Manufacturers’ Championship (on the eve of the final race of the year, the 8 Hours of Bahrain, which will take place on Saturday 8 November) and his relationship with his teammates; the difficult and wonderful things intrinsic to endurance racing, as well as the great joys experienced so far by Giovinazzi and his crewmates, who in three competitive seasons – from their debut in 2023 to the present – have achieved three victories and the same number of hyperpoles, as well as seven podium finishes.

For Ferrari, the final round of the world championship in Bahrain will be an opportunity to consolidate its lead in the Manufacturers’ standings, with the aim of bringing back to Maranello a world title that has been missing from the top class of endurance racing for 53 years. In the Drivers’ standings, as mentioned, Giovinazzi-Pier Guidi-Calado are in the lead with a 13-point margin over Yifei Ye, Robert Kubica and Phil Hanson, who drive the number 83 499P of the private AF Corse team. The other crew of the official Ferrari – AF Corse team, number 50, consisting of Antonio Fuoco, Miguel Molina and Nicklas Nielsen, is fifth in the standings.
