Formula 1 doesn’t give second chances. So when that chance comes knocking at your door a second time, you jump at it. Irrespective of the series you’re racing in, you have to be insane to give up an opportunity to race again in Formula 1. Antonio Giovinazzi faces a similar predicament.

Antonio Giovinazzi will partake in FP1 sessions at the Italian and United States Grand Prix in 2022. This means the Italian will get some much-needed laps under his belt. This is significant because he has been out of the sport for almost a year now. Giovinazzi is chuffed at the prospect of getting some V6 track time after an underwhelming Formula E season.

“I am happy to have the opportunity to drive in F1 again,” said Giovinazzi. “Besides driving in the simulator, it is important to test a real car and I can’t wait to get my suit and helmet back on.” (translated via Google Translate).
