Ferrari Hypercar drivers at the Italian Grand Prix

Last weekend Ferrari Hypercar drivers Antonio Giovinazzi, Alessandro Pier Guidi and Antonio Fuoco attended the Italian Grand Prix and spent time with the Tifosi.

The three drivers were guests of the Ferrari F1 team, which ran tribute liveries on its SF-23s during the weekend to celebrate the 499P’s Le Mans win in June.

In addition to the Le Mans-winning #51 499P being on display in the fan areas, the Frikadelli Racing Ferrari 296 GT3, which won the Nürburgring 24 Hours this year, was also present.
