Giovinazzi to be third driver at Ferrari

Sergio Marchionne has revealed that GP2 runner-up Antonio Giovinazzi will be Ferrari's third driver next season. The 23-year-old from Martina France in Italy lost out on the GP2 title to Pierre Gasly by just 8 points, both driving for the Prema Racing team.
