Antonio Giovinazzi, Ferrari WEC Driver, Confirmed as Magneti Marelli Parts & Services Brand Ambassador for 2026

Once again in 2026, Antonio Giovinazzi, reigning World Champion in the prestigious FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC), has been confirmed as Brand Ambassador for Magneti Marelli Parts & Services. Antonio and our company share core values such as ambition, thorough preparation, and top-level technical expertise, all qualities that enable the achievement of peak performance in the most demanding and competitive environments.

In the 2026 Endurance World Championship, Giovinazzi confirms himself as the lead driver of the Ferrari 499P number 51. The Prancing Horse’s hybrid hypercar, a standout in the FIA WEC, lines up for the new season even more competitive, ready to take on increasingly fierce competition. The goal is to defend the championship lead, building on the Constructors’ and Drivers’ titles won in 2025.

In this highly competitive context, Antonio stands out as a key asset for the team thanks to his outstanding performance behind the wheel and his consistency over the course of the season. Among his goals, in addition to defending the world title secured in 2025, is another victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, following the historic win already achieved with the Ferrari 499P in 2023.

At Magneti Marelli Parts & Services, we share with Antonio the same determination to reach prestigious milestones, the same meticulous attention to detail in preparation and execution, and the same commitment to selecting the best components available on the market.

A benchmark of excellence in Endurance Motorsport

Antonio Giovinazzi comes off an outstanding 2025 season, crowned by the WEC World Championship title thanks to victories at the 6 Hours of Imola and the 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps, as well as several high-profile podium finishes. His performances played a crucial role in Ferrari’s success in securing the Constructors’ World Championship in the Hypercar category.

This remarkable achievement further enhances Antonio’s already high-profile career, which also includes experience in Formula 1 with Alfa Romeo Racing, which represents the pinnacle of single-seater technology and on-track competition.

Giovinazzi perfectly embodies the values of reliability and performance consistency over time that have always distinguished all Magneti Marelli Parts & Services products. Together with Antonio, we share the vision that excellence is achieved by fostering a culture of absolute quality within one’s own field of expertise. For the company, this translates into continuous innovation in automotive maintenance, repair, and spare parts, supported by a broad and constantly updated product range designed to meet the real needs of the market.

For these reasons, Magneti Marelli Parts & Services once again stands alongside its Brand Ambassador Antonio Giovinazzi, supporting him with passion in every challenge. United by this shared vision, we continue to strive for excellence, driven by the belief that “High performance starts from the box.”
