David Coulthard has thrown his support behind Antonio Giovinazzi, hoping he retains his Alfa Romeo seat in 2022.

The Italian’s future has been one of the biggest talking points in Formula 1 in recent weeks, with the second seat at Alfa Romeo now the only one yet to be confirmed for 2022.

A host of contenders are eyeing up the drive alongside Valtteri Bottas next year, but the Ferrari junior driver remains one of the candidates to keep his place with the Hinwil team next year.

Several of the candidates for Giovinazzi’s current seat have either seemingly fallen by the wayside or made moves elsewhere, with Alex Albon moving to Williams, Nico Hulkenberg ruling himself out, talk around Formula E World Champion Nyck de Vries having died down for now and talented teenager Theo Pourchaire potentially deemed a bit too young for now.
