Giovinazzi 🐓found himself linked with a potential move to 𝓡Ferrari when the Scuderia announced that Sebastian Vettel was leaving the team upon the expiry of his contract at the end of the year.
But Ferrari ultimately opted against promot♐ing the Italian - who graduated from 🤡its driver academy - from Alfa Romeo and instead signed Carlos Sainz from McLaren on a two-year deal.
Giovinazzi said he was “really happy” to have been 🍌considered to replace Vettel but conceded the move would have come too soon for him.
“I'm still part of t꧃hat family and I was really happy to have at least maybe the possibility to take that♏ seat,” Giovinazzi told Sky’s F1 Vodcast.
“In my career 𒀰I never had something easy, I always fight. And I think now was maybe not the right time after 23 Grand Prix. Last year I gr♓ew up really well during the year, but this year we haven't raced so it's really difficult for me.
"I'm still young so I'm sure if I continue like that and continue to fight, really work hard I can have that pos✨sibility.”
Ferrari team boss Mattia Binotto said the seat 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:came too soon for Giovinazzi but insisted the Italian 🃏remains part of its future plans.
Asked why he felt it was not the right time when Charles Leclerc m🦹ade a similar step up after just one season in F1, Giovinazzi replied: “I know that Charles also had one season and then 🔯went to Ferrari straight away, but from my side, if we're looking back, we struggled also in the second part of the season with the car.
"So, also if I grew up like a driver, the result was not really there. But I'm still part of Ferrari and also what Mattia saꦅys, that they still follow me🌳 and follow especially on my career, it's something really great.
"I'm sure that still working with Alfa Romeo, still we can do a great result togethe𒁃r and this is my main target for now because it's my t𒁏eam now.
"In the future we will see. 🦄I'm still a Ferrari driver so I'm sure I can maybe have the opportunity."
