Italian driver Antonio Giovinazzi will remain at Alfa Romeo for the 2020 season, the team confirmed on Sunday.
Giovinazzi joined Alfa Romeo at the start of the year and is at the tail end of his first full season in F1. Despite a slow start, a resurgence in form since the August summer break helped cement his claim for another year as Kimi Raikkonen's teammate.
The news leaves Renault's Nico Hulkenberg all but certain to be without an F1 drive next year as Alfa had appeared to be the last feasible option for 2020.
