Career

Karting

Born in Cariati, Fuoco debuted in karting at the age of four and raced in various European championships, working his way up from the junior ranks to progress through to the KF2 category by 2012, when he finished third in WSK Euro Series and fourth in the CIK-FIA European KF2 Championship.[3][4]

Formula Renault

In 2013, Fuoco graduated to single-seaters, racing in the newly launched Formula Renault 2.0 Alps series for Prema Junior.[5] He won races at Vallelunga, Imola, Monza and Mugello and amassed another three podiums.[6] He also competed in a round of the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 championship with the team, at Spa-Francorchamps.[7]

Fuoco stepped up to FIA European Formula Three Championship in 2014, continuing with Prema Powerteam.[8] He finished fifth in the driver standings, with two wins at Silverstone and Spielberg, and 10 podiums out of 33 races.

GP3 Series

On 23 January 2015, it was announced Fuoco would be racing in the GP3 Series with Carlin Motorsport.[9] Despite scoring two podiums, Fuoco experienced an inconsistent season, including crashes at the Red Bull Ring, the Hungaroring, Spa and Monza.

In February 2016, following Carlin's departure from the series, it was announced Fuoco would be racing for Trident, where he collected his maiden victories and finished third in the championship.

FIA Formula E

In October 2018, Fuoco partook in the pre-season test at Valencia with GEOX Dragon and the following month, was named the team's reserve and test driver for the 2018-19 season.[11][12] In January 2019, Dragon ran Fuoco in the rookie test at Marrakesh where he set the third best time in the overall classification.[13][14]

Formula One

On 23 June 2015, Fuoco had his first Formula One test with Ferrari during the 2-day post-Austrian Grand Prix test in Spielberg at the Red Bull Ring.

On 19 January 2019, when Mick Schumacher was confirmed as a Ferrari Driver Academy driver, it was also confirmed that Fuoco was no longer part of the Academy, but was instead promoted to Ferrari’s F1 simulator team.
