Antonio Giovinazzi was announced as part of Ferrari’s six-strong driver line-up who will compete in this year’s FIA WEC as part of their Hypercar campaign.

安东尼奥·吉奥维纳兹此前正式加入到法拉利新赛季强大的六人车组，成为法拉利挑战WEC Hypercar冠军的一员。

We spoke to Giovinazzi about the year ahead and what we can expect from Ferrari as the marque makes its highly-anticipated return to the top class of endurance racing...

此次回归耐力赛最高组别，法拉利可谓是被众人寄予厚望，我们也采访了Gio，聊了聊他个人，和车队，新赛季的期望。

Hi Antonio, a very warm welcome to the WEC! Can you tell us a little bit about your journey with Ferrari in WEC and the reasons for joining the series in 2023?

你好，安东尼奥，非常高兴看到你重回WEC！你能说说你至今同法拉利的WEC之旅，以及为什么决定在2023年加入其中么？

“Well, I am very happy to be back in the WEC – I have great memories of the races I have done in the past in this championship, also because of the good results. My first 24 Hours of Le Mans (in 2018) is a memory that I keep close to my heart. Returning with Ferrari to the top category is really exciting - I can't wait for the first race at Sebring.”

“嗯，我很高兴自己回来了，我在过去的WEC比赛中有着不少美好回忆，有些成绩也算的上不错，我很珍视初次勒芒24小时的经历（2018）。和法拉利一起，回归最高组别实在是激动人心，我等不及要去赛百灵了。”

Can you tell us your initial thoughts on the Ferrari 499P machinery and any testing plans?

关于499P，你的第一感觉怎样？有什么测试计划么？

“The first word was Wow! I found myself in front of a wonderful prototype from Maranello, something that hadn't been seen for half a century... It was an emotion that I find difficult to put into words. The car? I tested it on track and the 499P is a beautiful car to drive.”

“我感觉被惊艳到了！在马拉内罗，我觉得在我面前的是一台美妙的机器，一个半个世纪不见的美丽赛车，这感觉难以言表。至于赛车的感觉么，我在赛道上测试了几圈，这真的是一台开起来极其漂亮的车。”

You competed at LM24 back in 2018 with Ferrari in LMGTE Pro, what are your memories of that event and what are you most looking forward to about your return there this year?

你在2018年同法拉利参加了勒芒24小时的LMGTE Pro组别比赛，你对那场比赛有什么特别印象？而今年又要回到勒芒，有什么期待么？

“I have wonderful memories of that year at Le Mans. I have not forgotten the hours driving in the evening and into the night… the difference in speed with the prototypes was considerable and you had to be very careful. This time my perspective will change - I'll be on board the 499P in the fastest class. And this year with the centenary of the race, as well as Ferrari's return to the top class after 50 years, it is going to be something special.”

“那年给我的印象太深了。我还记得在夜幕下飞驰的那几小时，而且车子同原型车比起来速度差距不小，你得格外当心。现在又不一样了，我会在499P里挑战最高组别。而且今年还是勒芒大赛百年纪念，是法拉利50年后重返最高组别，一切都会极其特别。”

You’ve had experience across various motorsport disciplines including Formula 1 and Formula E – but what do you foresee as the biggest challenges in the WEC?

你在不少赛事中都有比赛经验，包括FE和F1，那在你的预期里，WEC给你的最大挑战是？

“Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of driving many cars, in many championships. However, the Hypercar represents something new for me and I'm excited for this new challenge. The focus is always on getting the best possible result but I know it won’t be easy. When you make your debut with a new car, there are many challenges: starting with reliability which is a key factor in endurance racing. We will make a humble start - aware that we are making our debut in this category and that we still have a lot of work to do.”

“我是个幸运的人，这些年能在不同比赛中驾驶不同的赛车。不过，Hypercar是我的新篇章，一个新挑战。我的目标始终是取得最好的成绩，当然，这不容易，尤其是在新环境里初次上场，有太多难关，比如说稳定性，这在耐力赛里是重中之重。我们会在赛季初保持谦逊，时刻牢记这是我们在新组别里的第一步，告诫自己前路漫漫。”

We’re going to seven venues with the WEC this season, what ones are you most looking forward to and why?

本赛季的WEC有七个分站，你最期待去哪比赛？

“It has to be Le Mans and also Monza, as it is a home race for both me and for Ferrari.”

“那必须是勒芒和蒙扎，后者是我和法拉利的双重主场。”

Giovinazzi and Ferrari AF Corse will be in action with the Ferrari 499P Hypercar for the WEC season-opener on 17 March.

3.17，我们将见证GIO和法拉利，以及他们的新车499P，在WEC揭幕战上能有哪些精彩表现。
