GP2 – Kevin Giovesi confirmed at Lazarus

Kevin Giovesi will be full-time in GP2. The 19-year-old Italian, seen at the Jerez and Barcelona tests with the Venezuela GP Lazarus team, has just been made official for the season and will therefore be the teammate of the Austrian René Binder. At the wheel of the car No. 25, Kevin Giovesi will probably be the only Italian to race in GP2 in 2013. Born in Rho, near Milan, on November 8, 1993, he distinguished himself last year by winning the European Cup. F3 Open.

“I am so excited with this great opportunity”, commented the pilot. “The jump from F3 to GP2 is really big, but the tests in Jerez and Barcelona gave me a really good feeling, so I think I'm well prepared to race in the GP2 Series. It's not going to be an easy task this season: I'm going to have to learn the circuits very quickly but, with the help of the team that I would also like to thank, I think I can do a good job in my first race in Malaysia. . »
