RaceFans reported a $1m base for Antonio Giovinazzi’s last Alfa Romeo season in 2021, and F1 Salaries sets his Ferrari reserve retainer below that at $400k-800k for 2026. He’s in our top tier because he’s started 62 Grands Prix, and that tier is 40% – 80% of the $1m base Oliver Bearman and Liam Lawson earn in entry-level race seats.
The band covers F1 reserve work only, so it isn’t the whole of what Ferrari pays him. His deal also includes factory WEC racing, and nobody has published how that package splits.
Reports the July 2025 multi-year renewal covering his WEC racing and F1 reserve duties, with no end year or pay split.
Giovinazzi's Multi-Year Ferrari Contract
Ferrari renewed Antonio Giovinazzi’s contract on July 8, 2025, and the multi-year deal covers his WEC racing as well as his F1 reserve duties. The 2026 season sits inside it. Ferrari didn’t publish an end date, and it didn’t publish a value either.
That’s why his term shows as multi-year rather than a guessed 2027 or 2028 expiry. Because it was signed as a single Ferrari package, the reserve part can’t be priced from the contract itself. The same renewal keeps him in Ferrari’s endurance lineup, where he won Le Mans in 2023.
Giovinazzi's Call-Up Pay Behind Hamilton and Leclerc
The call-up rule adds about $43k for each Grand Prix a reserve actually starts, which is the $1m entry seat divided across 23 races. Giovinazzi hasn’t been called into the car in 2026, so his call-up pay is $0. That changes only if Lewis Hamilton or Charles Leclerc misses a race and he takes over.

Giovinazzi’s $400k-800k band comes to $33k-67k a month. Spread over the 23 Grands Prix, it’s $17k-35k a race, or roughly $8k-15k a week. They’re averages drawn from a benchmark range and not payslips, since Ferrari has never said what it actually pays him.

Antonio Giovinazzi's Two Ferrari Jobs
Giovinazzi works two Ferrari jobs in 2026. He races for its factory team in the World Endurance Championship, and he’s the F1 team’s reserve behind Hamilton and Leclerc. The July 2025 renewal put both roles under one agreement.
Ferrari hasn’t named anyone else as reserve, so there’s no shared list or pecking order to work through. If either race driver can’t start, the call goes to him. The pay gap to those two is enormous, though. Leclerc’s $34m base is more than 40 times the top of Giovinazzi’s band, and Hamilton’s $60m is 75 times it.
Both drivers race the same car, so pay differences come down to standing, results and contract timing.
Questions About Giovinazzi's Ferrari Pay
Antonio Giovinazzi races for Ferrari’s factory team in the World Endurance Championship and is its F1 reserve driver in 2026. He’d take Lewis Hamilton’s or Charles Leclerc’s seat if either couldn’t start a Grand Prix. His 2023 Le Mans win came in that same Ferrari endurance program.
Alfa Romeo replaced Antonio Giovinazzi with Zhou Guanyu after the 2021 season, ending his time as a full-time F1 driver. He’d started 62 Grands Prix and scored 21 points, with a best finish of fifth in Brazil in 2019. Ferrari kept him as its reserve and later moved him into endurance racing.
There’s no published end date for Antonio Giovinazzi’s Ferrari contract. Ferrari announced a multi-year renewal on July 8, 2025 covering his WEC racing and F1 reserve work, and 2026 falls within it. How long it runs beyond this season hasn’t been made public, so any specific expiry year is a guess.
Ferrari doesn’t publish what it pays Antonio Giovinazzi, and his contract bundles factory WEC racing with F1 reserve duties. F1 Salaries puts the reserve part alone at $400k-800k a year, based on his 62 Grand Prix starts. Whatever Ferrari pays for his WEC racing sits outside that band and hasn’t been reported.
F1 Salaries puts Antonio Giovinazzi’s net worth at $400k, and that’s a floor rather than a ceiling. It’s 40% of the $1m base reported for his 2021 Alfa Romeo season. FullOversteer’s $560k from 2024 doesn’t show its sources, and nothing public supports millions because his Ferrari WEC pay has never been reported.
