Forza Fuoco!

Antonio Fuoco has been a racer since the age of 4 when he first laid eyes on a kart. He has consistently moved up the ranks of motorsport – from single seaters in Formula Renault to Formula Three to FIA Formula E and then a stint as a test driver for the Ferrari Formula One team.
Where he really has made his mark, and where he has cultivated the most fans, is in sports car racing. For US fans, we remember his outstanding drives for Ferrari and Cetilar Racing beginning in the 2022 season. In 2022 he won Sebring for the first time for Cetilar in the GTD class.
In 2023 Fuoco joined Ferrari AF Corse to pilot the new Ferrari 499P in the FIA-WEC Hypercar category. Partnering with co-drivers Miguel Molina and Nicklas Nielsen, Fuoco took the brand’s first pole in the top class of the championship at the 1000 Miles of Sebring.
Following up that successful first season in the Ferrari 499P, Fuoco and the same co-drivers won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2024. He followed up that Le Mans victory with a successful season at AF Corse in 2025, finishing on the podium four times, winning one race and finishing third in the championship.
Antonio keeps extremely busy in motorsport for Ferrari. In addition to his drives in the FIA-WEC championship in the 499P, he has been a regular in the IMSA WeatherTech Championship, driving for AF Corse USA and most recently, won the GTD Class at the Mobil 1 12 Hours of Sebring. He also continues to be a development driver for the Scuderia Ferrari Formula One team, and along with his FIA-WEC duties, still finds the time and energy to race in the Asian Le Mans Series for Cetilar Racing.
In his most recent win at Sebring, Fuoco took his Ferrari 296 GT3 EVO from 7th to 1st in the last thirty minutes of the race, overcoming time lost to three penalties suffered by the team during the race. The victory at Sebring marked Antonio’s second class win at Sebring in five races.
Fuoco: “On the last safety car, we were P7 I think. 26 minutes to go, then we were able to win the race. I think it was a really good one. Quite similar to the one I won in 2022. I think Sebring is always like this, is always a lot of close race.”
We look forward to following more of Antonio Fuoco’s exploits this season as he goes for a second overall victory at Le Mans next month and hope to see him some more in the US in the IMSA WeatherTech Championship endurance races.
In the meantime, we’ll see you at the races.
