## Background and junior career
Alesi grew up around motorsport through his father Jean, who raced in Formula 1 and later in DTM with HWA, the team with which Giuliano made his first racing memories as a child. He has described his own racing style as persevering, waiting for the right opportunity to make a move on track.[1](https://www.fiaformula2.com/en/latest/article/the-inside-scout-giuliano-alesi.2bQuHXhnRLjxlRcYfg4Xtm)
His junior career ran almost entirely with the Italian team Trident. As a Ferrari Academy-supported driver, he scored four wins, eight podium finishes, and 200 points in the [GP3 Series](https://www.edgepedia.org/gp3-series), and in late 2018 Trident confirmed he would step up to the FIA Formula 2 Championship with the team for 2019, his fourth consecutive season with them.[3](https://www.fiaformula2.com/en/latest/article/giuliano-alesi-graduates-to-formula-2.3guKYmOTtT7LvurkAkSxz9) In post-season testing at Yas Marina he adapted quickly to the F2 car, setting the sixth fastest time on the final day.[3](https://www.fiaformula2.com/en/latest/article/giuliano-alesi-graduates-to-formula-2.3guKYmOTtT7LvurkAkSxz9)
## Formula 2
His 2019 rookie season with Trident brought a 15th-place championship finish with 20 points.[4](https://f2.fandom.com/wiki/Giuliano_Alesi) For 2020 he moved to BWT HWA Racelab, and finished the season 17th with 12 points, having also run with MP Motorsport during the year.[4](https://f2.fandom.com/wiki/Giuliano_Alesi) • [5](https://porschecarshistory.com/wp-content/old/lib/magazines/autosport/2021/AS2021.01.07.pdf) He did not progress to Formula 1, and his career subsequently moved to Japan.
## Super GT with TOM'S
Alesi moved into [Super GT](https://www.edgepedia.org/super-gt) in 2021, driving a Lexus RC F for Arto Team Thailand alongside Walkinshaw, with best finishes in the mid-thirties of the combined classification.[6](https://www.racingsportscars.com/driver/results/Giuliano-Alesi-F.html) In 2022 he joined the Toyota works team TOM'S in the GT500 class, sharing the #36 [Toyota GR Supra](https://www.edgepedia.org/toyota-gr-supra) with Sho Tsuboi; the pair took second at the 450 km Fuji that season.[6](https://www.racingsportscars.com/driver/results/Giuliano-Alesi-F.html)
From 2023 he drove the #37 Toyota GR Supra (from 2024 the DB42 version) for TGR Team Deloitte TOM'S with Ukyo Sasahara. The partnership produced his first GT500 wins in 2024, at the 3-hour Suzuka round on 2 June and at 300 km Sugo on 22 September.[6](https://www.racingsportscars.com/driver/results/Giuliano-Alesi-F.html) In 2025 the same crew won the 300 km Sepang round on 28 June, a race in which Toyota took its first Sepang victory in 21 years through a late overcut pit strategy.[6](https://www.racingsportscars.com/driver/results/Giuliano-Alesi-F.html) • [9](https://www.as-web.jp/driver_top/giuliano-alesi)
## Endurance racing and Super Formula
Alongside his Super GT program, Alesi has taken on endurance events. In 2024 he was part of Rookie Racing's title-winning Super Taikyu effort, and in 2025 he contested the 24 Hours of Nürburgring in a Toyota GR Supra for Toyo Tires with Ring Racing, finishing 82nd, sharing the car with Nakayama, Kotaka, and Koyama.[8](https://www.motorsport.com/super-formula/news/giuliano-alesi-returns-to-super-formula-with-kcmg-in-fuji-car-sharing-deal/10837475/) • [6](https://www.racingsportscars.com/driver/results/Giuliano-Alesi-F.html)
In 2026 he made his [Le Mans](https://www.edgepedia.org/le-mans) 24 Hours debut with Toyota's permission, driving the #62 Mercedes-AMG LMGT3 of Team Qatar by Iron Lynx with Julian Hanses and Abdulla Al-Khelaifi; the car finished 48th.[7](https://www.formularace.it/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/entry-list-24-Ore-di-Le-Mans-2026-WEC.pdf) • [6](https://www.racingsportscars.com/driver/results/Giuliano-Alesi-F.html) • [9](https://www.as-web.jp/driver_top/giuliano-alesi)
After losing his TOM'S Super Formula drive, Alesi returned to single-seaters in 2026 with KCMG. The Toyota-powered team announced a car-sharing arrangement at [Fuji Speedway](https://www.edgepedia.org/fuji-speedway) in which Alesi drove the #9 car for rounds 6 and 7 while Seita Nonaka, who had qualified the car at the canceled [Autopolis](https://www.edgepedia.org/autopolis) round, contested the replacement sprint race. KCMG prioritized giving Alesi track time to prepare for his comeback, his first Super Formula running in three years.[8](https://www.motorsport.com/super-formula/news/giuliano-alesi-returns-to-super-formula-with-kcmg-in-fuji-car-sharing-deal/10837475/) He remained with the team through the season, including a point-less round at Sportsland Sugo.[10](https://www.kcmg.com.hk/?p=14025)
