He ended the season in 6th place in the standings with 238 points, recording two wins, seven podium finishes, two pole positions and three fastest laps.

Giovinazzi continued in the championship with Jagonya Agam with Carlin in 2015, in a field which included future Formula One competitors Charles Leclerc, Lance Stroll, George Russell and Alexander Albon.

He recorded six wins, twenty podium finishes, four pole positions and four fastest laps. During the 2015 season he made his second appearance at the Masters of Formula 3 race, winning the race after starting from 2nd on the grid.

After a poor start by finishing outside the points and losing reverse grid pole in the first two rounds, Giovinazzi scored victories in both the feature and sprint races in Baku, becoming the first driver to do 'the double' since Davide Valsecchi in 2012.

Giovinazzi took pole position from his teammate Gasly at Spa, and won the Sprint Race after Gasly had won the feature race on Saturday.{{Cite news|url=http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/125871|title=GP2 Spa: Giovinazzi snatches pole from Prema team-mate Gasly|last=Beer|first=Matt|work=Autosport.com|access-date=26 June 2017|language=en}}{{Cite news|url=http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/125903|title=Spa GP2: Antonio Giovinazzi completes clean sweep for Prema|last=Beer|first=Matt|work=Autosport.com|access-date=26 June 2017|language=en}} At Monza, he took pole position, but was disqualified from the session due to a technical infringement.

We were thinking about the future."{{cite web|url=https://www.planetf1.com/news/spa-crash-nearly-sealed-giovinazzis-alfa-fate/|title=Spa crash nearly sealed Giovinazzi's Alfa fate|website=planetf1.com|date=3 January 2020|access-date=8 January 2020}} At this stage of the season, Giovinazzi had collected one point, whilst teammate Räikkönen had scored 31.

On lap 27 of the {{F1 GP|2019|Singapore}}, Giovinazzi led the race for four laps after the leaders had pitted. It was the first time he had led a Formula One Grand Prix race in his career. For Alfa Romeo, it was the first time since Andrea de Cesaris led in the 1983 Belgian Grand Prix. Giovinazzi ultimately finished 10th, scoring points for the second consecutive race. At the {{F1 GP|2019|Brazilian}}, he achieved his career best finish, crossing the line in sixth place before being promoted to fifth after Lewis Hamilton was penalised.
