"It's fantastic but it would have been astonishing if Ferrari had allowed such an opportunity to escape," he said.
"Giovinazzi is a well educated young man, which is rare these days, but above all he is an excellent driver," Alesi added. "He came within a hair of the title in his first GP2 season, now he just needs some good kilometres."
Jean Alesi's son, Giuliano is also part of the Ferrari academy, however Jean is adamant that his son can only focus on GP3 right now.
"Working with the (Ferrari) academy is a guarantee," said 52-year-old Alesi. "Giuliano can develop without rushing."
Asked, however, if his son might make his breakthrough and test a formula one car this year, Alesi answered with defiance.
"If necessary, I would lay down in front of the box exit!" he exclaimed. "Giuliano can only think of GP3 for now.
"If he wants to get in a F1 car, then we have one at home that he can get in and I will take a photo."
