Ghiotto moved toVirtuosi Racing to partner Chinese driverGuanyu Zhou in2019. Ghiotto started the season very well with pole position, second place at race 1, and victory at race 2 inBahrain. However, he scored only two points atAzerbaijan. The Italian once again took pole position atSpain, but was hit byCampos driverDorian Boccolacci, who was later penalized with a drive-through penalty. He charged through the field to finish fourth and achieved another podium in Race 2, finishing in second. AtMonaco, originally, he finished second at the feature race, but was disqualified, and in the second race he hit theArden car ofTatiana Calderon and theMP Motorsport car ofMahaveer Raghunathan. Ghiotto had to retire the car, and was given a three-place grid penalty for causing a collision with the two drivers. AtLe Castellet, he also had a nightmare weekend. In Race 1, he was hit byJuan Manuel Correa, causing him to retire with suspension damage. In Race 2, he only finished thirteenth, scoring no points. InSpielberg, he took two podium finishes with two second places. InGreat Britain, he qualified second behind his teammateGuanyu Zhou, who also made history with achieving the first pole position of a Chinese driver in GP2 or F2. He passed Guanyu before the first corner, and took the victory in the feature race. AtHungaroring, he finished 4th and 8th respectively.
InSpa-Francorchamps, the two races were cancelled after a tragic accident in the feature race, afterGiuliano Alesi lost control of his car due to a puncture, which provoked an accident, that resulted in serious injures forJuan Manuel Correa, and the death of French driverAnthoine Hubert. InMonza Ghiotto took the fastest lap along with second place in the feature race, but after making contact withSérgio Sette Câmara andNyck de Vries, he only finished in fifteenth position in the sprint race. AtSochi, he finished fourth in the first race with taking fastest lap once again, however he lost the podium toLouis Delétraz on the final lap. In the second race, he came from fifth on the grid to first place and took his third win of the year. In the final round atAbu Dhabi, Ghiotto scored eight points in the first race by finishing sixth. In the sprint race, he started third, but overtookNicholas Latifi for second place. A few laps later, he passedTrident driverGiuliano Alesi for the race lead. Due to the retirements ofArtem Markelov,Sean Gelael and contact betweenNikita Mazepin andMatevos Isaakyan, there were three virtual safety cars. By that, Ghiotto extended his race lead and comfortably won his fourth race of the year. He finished third in the championship, just behind championNyck de Vries and runner-upNicholas Latifi.
