Usual format: we show some photos to our interviewee without saying anything…and he tells us what he thinks about it. Without restrictions. This time it was Antonio Giovinazzi’s turn who, between an F1 preseason test and the other, does not disdain getting behind the wheel of a KZ kart.

This year, Antonio Giovinazzi is officially an F1 driver (Alfa Romeo Racing Team, to be precise), yet he has been and always will be a kart driver.

You understand this on an ordinary day in the late 2019 winter, in Lonato at the South Garda Karting circuit. Despite the recent officialization of his new “employment”, which has him become part of that circle of a very few selected individuals who, this year, can say that they are F1 drivers, Antonio, at 10 a.m. is already on the track doing laps behind the wheel of a Tony Kart Racer 401R shifter kart, equipped with a Vortex RSZ engine.

It is cold – and not just a little – yet the desire to return to that old love is not stopped by a thermometer which marks just a few degrees above zero. So, here he is on the track turninglaps with the support of the Tony Kart Racing Team (an extension of the Ferrari Driver Academy in karting) and of his friend Simo Puhakka, official racer for Tony Kart in the KZ category, but here today as a mechanic and supporter.

Even in karting, however, there are the “pain in the neck journalists” asking questions. We, with our “photographic interview” did not have many questions, after all. We only showed him some images and…we left him to talk freely. Here’s how it went, between some embarrassmentwith the writer and some laughter for Antonio.
