Fuoco was part of Ferrari's Driver Academy from 2013 to 2018. This year, he is an official test driver, and has been handling duties in the simulator for the Maranello squad.

Fuoco made his F1 test debut in 2015, driving for Ferrari in Spielberg at the Red Bull Ring. The Italian spent the last two seasons racing in Formula 2, picking up three victories.

After full-time driver Sebastian Vettel shared driving duties with Mick Schumacher in Bahrain, Charles Leclerc will get into the cockpit in Barcelona to test for Ferrari.  

Leclerc will handle the SF90 on the first day, Tuesday, May 14th, before Fuoco takes over duties on Wednesday. 

Ferrari will also be testing for Pirelli in Spain, with Vettel driving the car on the opening day before Leclerc jumps into the car on Wednesday. 

Another Ferrari linked driver will also be in action in Barcelona, as Callum Ilott will get behind the wheel of the Alfa Romeo C38.
