Giovinazzi to join Sauber:

Italian driver Antonio Giovinazzi will replace Sweden’s Marcus Ericsson at Alfa Romeo Sauber for the start of the next Formula One season, the team announced on Tuesday.

Giovinazzi, who has come through the ranks with Ferrari, will join up with Kimi Raikkonen at Sauber after the Finn recently signed a two-year contract to race with the Swiss outfit.

Raikkonen, currently with Ferrari, will switch seats for the start of the next season with Monaco’s Charles Leclerc, currently at Sauber, taking his place.
